Learning Aid Ohio

In response to the unique and challenging school year, Gov. DeWine’s Children’s Initiative and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities funded the launch of Learning Aid Ohio, a program to support students learning with disabilities. Learning Aid Ohio exists to subsidize the cost to hire tutors, aides, or in-home providers who can provide learning support for students on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans.

Learning Aid Ohio’s Summer Program awards eligible students $2,000 to hire Learning Providers between June 1^st – September 30^th.

To qualify families must:

Have a student learning on an IEP or Section 504 Plan
Be experiencing financial hardship
Apply by May 15, 2021 at LearningOhio.com

This is also a great summer employment opportunity for your educators! To become a Learning Provider, applicants must fill out an application at https://www.learningohio.com/become-a-provider. Applicants must have either a 2020-2021 BCI Background Check, or ODE licensure. Learning Providers set their own schedule and hourly rate, and manage their own calendar!

Special Education Parent Survey

The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) would like to invite you to participate in a short, 25 question survey about your involvement in your student's education. Research suggests that parental involvement is a key predictor of positive educational outcomes. You may be eligible to participate if your child has an IEP and receives special education services. The purpose of collecting this information is to improve services for students with disabilities across Ohio. If you are eligible to participate and you enroll in the study, you will be entered in a drawing for several $50 Amazon gift cards. Your chance of winning a gift card is approximately 2.0%.

DHS Holiday Choir Concert

The DHS Choir is pleased to present their annual Holiday Concert under the direction of Mr. Eric West and accompanied by Mrs. Lori Schultz. Although this concert is not the traditional event we come to know, this project showcases how awesome the DHS students are and how hard they have been working during this challenging time. The songs were recorded together while wearing masks and being social distanced in the choir room. Then students recorded video of themselves singing the songs while at home. Using technology, the beautiful voices and videos were compiled together. Prepare to be amazed by clicking here for the performance.
