Welcome Parents!

The PTA Special Services Committee has created a helpful resource guide for parents of children with special needs. We want to make it easier for you to find local events, activities, programs, and places where you and your children feel supported. 

 

This newsletter will be updated regularly with new information and seasonal events. Much of the information is time-sensitive, so please click on the links if you are interested in a specific event or program. 

 

We hope this resource will be a helpful support for you and your family as you navigate our community. 


Warmly,

The PTA Special Services Committee
