Parents, You’re Not Alone:

Let’s Define Some Support That Dundee-Crown Offers!

Teachers
•When it comes down to it, teaching is still about one person working with another to develop skills, behaviors, and
aptitude
•If there is ever a question about an assignment, students can connect with their teacher before school, after school, during
the teacher's planning block, or during CUP
•Our generous teachers are more than willing to help whenever, however, and wherever they can

Charge it Up (CUP)
•Dundee-Crown has created a schedule that includes a 30-minute time period when every teacher is available
•Students can use this time to get clarity from teachers regarding assignments, make up tests, work on group projects,
read, and gain critical skills and content knowledge
•When? After second block (10:47-11:17AM)

After-School Tutoring (Take Charge!) / Media Center

•After the last bell rings, we are still here to support students
•Dedicated teachers work with students who have learning needs after school in the annex (3:15-4:15 p.m., Mon-Thur)
•Students just have to sign up on the computers before 1:30 p.m. Plus, a 4:15 p.m. bus brings students home!
•Students can use computers, get support from peers, and use work space in the Media Center

Academic Support Center (ASC)

•The ASC works in conjunction with CUP to provide support for reticent freshman learners during their transition to the
demands of high school
•Students who need help, but do not seek it on their own, receive a pass from freshman teachers that directs them to the
ASC
•Once there, students connect with teachers and peer tutors to complete missing work, learn essential skills, and make up
tests and quizzes
•When? During CUP
•Contact person? Mr. Anthony Bradburn at Anthony.Bradburn@d300.org or 224-484-5018

DC LEARNS
•DC LEARNS is an after-school program staffed by dedicated teachers who want to help students gain essential content and
skills
•English Language Learners and Special Ed students receive support from specially trained teachers who are bilingual and
know multiple teaching approaches for special learners
•This is a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of America ©, and offers transportation to their club where they can eat,
work on computers, engage in games, and hang out with friends

Problem-Solving Teams (PST's)

•PST's are small groups of staff that include the school psychologist, deans, counselors and social service workers. The
group meets regularly to collect data and intervene on the behalf of students with the most significant behavioral issues.
•Counselors and deans typically identify the students who will be the focus for each PST, but teachers and parents are often
contacted to contribute information about students and their progress. Teachers with questions about student behavior
issues are encouraged to contact a student’s counselor or dean.
