    Parent Advisory Group (PAG)
     
    Dear Parent/Guardian(s):
     
     
    The start of the 2024-2025 school year is almost here! 
     
    If your son or daughter is a new student to our district, we welcome you to our parent group!
     
    We invite all of our parents to remain active in the educational experience of your son or daughter in school.  Please review the website for general information regarding the district's Child Study Teams, educational resources and additional community resources.
     
    The Parents of Special Education Students (POSES) Parent Advisory Group (PAG) was created to:
    • provide parents, guardians and caregivers the opportunity to share input regarding special education programs and services in the school
    • increase community involvement and elicit input on relevant topics for future presentations and information sharing, and
    • facilitate communication for positive interactions with district and school staff.   
     

    Meetings for Parents of Special Education Students (POSES) will be posted here for your review and participation.
