Student and Family
​Success Team

Life is busy and hectic. Sometimes we need a little extra support and sometimes we don't know where to get that support. DeKalb County ROE is dedicated to working with families to find the resources they need to support their children in becoming life-long learners. School attendance is key to becoming a life-long learner. Our Family Success Liaisons combine their knowledge of community resources with a growth mindset to support your family as they navigate the educational system. We focus on supporting the whole family so that each child can attain academic success.

How it works

Each family is unique and has unique needs.
​We do our best to meet the needs of the whole family.
