Virtual Office Hours
What are Virtual Office Hours?
Are you an educator, administrator, parent, or related service provider in Region 6 or 7 and have a question as you work through an unprecendented 2020-21 school year? We are available and invite you to reach out to one of our coordinators directly or drop in during virtual office hours for live assistance. Here are some examples of ways we can help:
- Scheduled focus topics you can access.
- Finding and sending you needed resources.
- Live discussion and collaborative problem solving.
Connecting you to other professionals.
