| What is SEPTA?
SEPTA stands for Special Education Parent Teacher Association. We are a District Wide PTA whose primary function is to act as both an advocacy and support group for children, teachers, and families of specials needs students. If your child receives Speech, Counseling, Resource Room, Occupational or Physical Therapy, is in a Special Education or Inclusion classroom, or is in an out of district placement (any child with an IEP). WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!! As an advocacy group, we try to stay as current as possible with the ever changing rules and regulations governing our children's rights and educational mandates. SEPTA is always looking to work with our teachers to help enhance the programs already in place, and offer suggestions for new programs that will benefit our children. Like all PTA's, SEPTA presents it's own Goals and Priorities to PTA Council, which is then presented as part of PTA Council's Goals to our District Administrators. These are reviewed periodically throughout the year with our administration and updates are given to membership. Many of our members also act as Parent Members at CSE (Committee on Special Education) and CPSE (Committee on Pre-School Special Education) meetings. As a support group, we offer programs to help our students both in and out of the classroom. Our Social Skills After School Program begins during the late fall, and is offered to grades K-5. Two $1,000.00 Scholarships are offered to our graduates each year, and look below for a listing of our meeting dates and speakers. As you can imagine, the amount of time and effort that is needed to run our programs is staggering. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please join SEPTA. Click here for a membership form. The vast majority of the work has rested on the shoulders of a dedicated few. We would love some new members with lots of enthusiasm and ideas to help carry on our work. Our children need SEPTA to continue it's efforts. SEPTA needs you to make that happen. The more we do together, the more our children will benefit. Please join us at our next meeting and share your expertise. Any help will be a great help. |
