HV RBERN Update
/Though many of you work with the NYS Hudson Valley Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (HV RBERN) on a regular basis, we are asking for all of our regional colleagues to formally provide us with feedback on our current services. We welcome you to forward this survey to other educators in your district.
We are also interested in knowing which technologies educators have found work best, and not so well, with students while remotely learning from home. The Hudson Valley RBERN is interested in creating a database of ELL-focused, distance learning tech tools for educators to share with the region. Please view the survey here.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Please share the surveys with others as well.

Please read the following letter from Associate Commissioner Elisa Alvarez: "We will continue to strengthen opportunities and equity for all students and recognize we must understand our history to move forward together into our shared future."
The Office of Bilingual Education & World Languages (OBEWL) released this infographic about the 2020 recipients (thus far) of the NYS Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB) (Interim Report 6/10/20).
Financial Aid Sessions (several in Spanish). Please share with families of high school students.
Prospective students and families are invited to join the State University of New York (SUNY) for online financial aid sessions which will provide detailed information about the financial aid application and award process. Note that several of the sessions are in Spanish! Session topics include cost and financial aid opportunities, including the Excelsior Scholarship. During the session, you will be able to send questions via live chat.
