Standing with Ukraine

So many of you have shown your support for Ukraine by displaying their vibrant blue and yellow flag or by posting pictures of sunflowers, their national flower.

We at the DuPage ROE stand with Ukraine, as we have since 1991, when the country was re-born, free of Soviet rule. The Ukrainian people are in our thoughts and prayers, as we dream of a world where all live peaceably.
Were you unable to attend the full-day workshops on approaching attendance with a
multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) this fall? Dr. Patricia Graczyk is offering additional
learning opportunities in one-hour segments on the following dates.
All workshops are 3:30-4:30 p.m. via Zoom.

DUPAGE COUNTY SCHOOL STAFF SHORTAGE
As you are no doubt aware, there is a school staff shortage across the country, and it's also affecting DuPage County. The Daily Herald recently published an article explaining creative avenues school districts in DuPage are using to attract and retain staff.
SEL HUB WORK CONTINUES AT THE DUPAGE ROE
Schools and districts in DuPage County continue to report that students, educators, and leaders are experiencing increased levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma and that the impact of these factors on the school and classroom environment and operations is significant. Schools are doing their best to address the increased SEL needs on a daily basis and are also looking to make longer term plans to expand their trauma responsiveness. 

Now is the time to prepare for your school or district SEL needs for next year, and the Dupage ROE can help! Through the SEL Hub, staff at the Dupage ROE are ready to work with schools this winter/spring to help them identify their safety, trauma, and SEL-related needs and develop a comprehensive and aligned plan to address these needs. For more information, please contact Maureen McAbee or Sharon Frys.

Together we can create more responsive and equitable schools and classrooms throughout DuPage County! 

* The services of the SEL Hub are available to DuPage County schools at no cost to participating schools/districts.
