May 2013

If you are new to the Arlington Special Education PTA (ArlingtonSEPTA), please check out our FAQs page for more information about our mission and goals.

I am pleased to announce that ArlingtonSEPTA is again awarding SEPTA Mini-Grants in the Spring 2013 semester. For more information about the Mini-Grants, click here.

Please join or renew your ArlingtonSEPTA membership for the 2012-2013 school year ($5/individual or $10/family), and please join us for our upcoming meeting (RSVP to me).

In the coming year, our events and activities will include a superintendent chat; workshops on behavior management, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, dyslexia and reading; therapeutic play groups and childcare during our meetings and workshops; and a sensory-friendly movie event. For more information, please see our Events page. If there is another program for which you would like to serve as the lead coordinator, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss it.

As we plan to continue and build on the successful events of last year, we still have vacancies on the executive team as well as a number of other committee and coordinator positions. Please check our About Us page, if you would like to take on one of these positions, please contact me or Jack Toner, our immediate past president.

I look forward to working with you and our executive team members to build the best special education PTA that we can be!

Best wishes,

Christopher Waddell
President
