The Special Education Committee supports students with IEPs and 504 plans and their
caregivers. We organize fun engagement activities for students and provide educational and
social opportunities for caregivers. We collaborate with school administration to best support
special education students, families and staff. We also provide community resources via our
PTSA newsletter.
