Alternative Learning Opportunities Program – DuPage Regional Office of Education

ALOP (Alternative Learning Opportunities Program) DuPage, 848 N. Mill Rd in Addison, serves as an extension of DuPage County high schools through intergovernmental agreements. The ALOP DuPage site is part of a consortium.

ALOP DuPage is designed for students who are at risk of academic failure and/or who are struggling with attendance. Each student receives an individualized success plan with strong social emotional skill support. ALOP DuPage supplies the following instructional and support venues: credit attainment through engaging virtual instruction and meaningful direct instruction, high school equivalency programming, smaller learning communities, life and work readiness skills, college/career planning and counseling.

Referrals to ALOP DuPage are made through the student’s home school. If you have questions about eligibility, please contact the Regional Office of Education ALOP Coordinator, Kathy Ekstrand.

Rebound

“Rebound” was designed in response to SB 100 – “students who are suspended out-of-school for longer than four school days must be provided appropriate and available support services during the period of their suspension” (105 ILCS5/10-22.6 b-25). Rebound was developed by the DuPage Regional Office of Education in collaboration with DuPage Schools. Rebound supports students in grades 6-12 during a suspension of four or more days with academic instruction continuity while promoting restorative practices teaching conflict resolution and strengthening social emotional skills.

Referrals to Rebound are made through the student’s home school. An information sheet is attached. If you have questions, please contact the Rebound Coordinator, Kathy Ekstrand.
