Last Friday, educators from across the county had the opportunity to hear Ruben Perez present "A Framework for Understanding Poverty."
This workshop explored class differences and actions teachers can implement in the classroom to improve the success of low-income students. Ruben introduced resources, mental models, family structure, language patterns, and more to equip teachers with the tools to help students facing poverty.
Thank you to Ruben and our Vermilion County educators for your dedication to fostering educational success!

When your child is struggling with reading, sometimes knowing what to say is the hardest part.
Join us for our October Beyond the Words parent meeting as we welcome nationally certified school psychologist and ROE SchoolWorks consultant Ondine Gross for a conversation about communication—both with our children and with the teachers and schools supporting them.
Together, we'll talk about:
· Supporting your child through frustration
· Talking about reading challenges
· Communicating with teachers
· Partnering with your child's school
There will also be time for parent questions, conversation, and connection.
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month
Whether your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, is receiving reading support, or you're simply concerned about their reading, you are welcome.
You don't have to have all the answers. You just need a place to start.
