Teachers and staff at seven Janesville elementary schools will be visiting families and students in their homes as part of an expanding new program.  Superintendent Steve Pophal tells Your Talk Show on WCLO the program began two years ago at Harrison and Jefferson Elementary schools, and will expand to Adams, Jackson, Lincoln, Van Buren, and Washington this year.  Pophal says the visits really jump-start relationships, and help teachers get to know the children and their needs for a better start to the school year.  The home visits are set for a week from Wednesday.
