DACA

Dear CSS Family,

If you have been trying to figure out how to address the decision being made in regards to DACA, here are some resources sent out by Oregon Writing Project folks. They are going to update resources as they become available or are found. If you end up using any of it, I'd be curious as to how it goes.

Take care,

Rosie

"In the meantime, see resources from Rethinking Schools blog:
