SPF SEPAG BI-WEEKLY COMMUNICATION (MAY 30th-June 10th)

By




SEPAG Update:

We are pleased to share the SPF Special Education Parent Advisory Group Brochure with you. 

We've listened to parent feedback and responded, as this brochure will serve as a means for parents and caregivers to access helpful resources, especially for those that may be new to Special Education, IEPs, 504s and the processes within.  It is a best practice used by many SEPAGs and will also aid in bringing awareness of the SPF SEPAG. 


The last SPF SEPAG meeting for the 2022-2023 school year will be on Monday, June 5th at the Board of Education Offices at 512 Cedar St., Scotch Plains. The meeting will also be accessible virtually, via Google meet. Meeting topics and details will be shared in the coming days.
