Fun Fact: After the first week of school, twenty (20) families had been referred to the Nexus Program by partnering school districts throughout Whiteside, Lee and Ogle Counties.
Nexus is a support program offered by the Regional Office of Education #47 for participating school districts in Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties. Nexus supports the whole child/children by supporting the whole family. Through personal, respectful, and confidential interactions with a trained Family Support Staff, families create goals geared towards social-emotional needs, school readiness, and overall family well-being. The Family Support Staff connects and helps families navigate local community resources, thus creating a stronger community.
For more information about the Nexus program contact Diana Merdian, Program Coordinator, (815) 625-1495 ext. 151, dmerdian@roe47.org , Michelle Elmendorf, Family Support Staff, melmendorf@roe47.org, or Jessica Faivre, Family Support Staff, jfaivre@roe47.org.
