SPECIAL NEEDS PTA GENERAL MEETING

Make sure your calendar is free for the March 23 meeting. This year’s district panel discussion will be different from past presentations. We’ll work to demystify what to expect as the kiddos transition to the upper grades.

Don’t laugh, those of you in the early childhood years. It happens in the blink of an eye!

Scott Irwin, secondary services director, is assembling panelists and a program to cover:

  • Program options in middle and high school, including what to expect in transition from elementary school
  • Understanding how graduation requirements are accommodated based on the child’s situation
  • Assessments and types of diplomas
  • Transition services/the 18-21 program

You can send us questions for the district team in advance to info@shorelinespecialneedspta.com or fill out question cards during the session. We also need members present to vote on nominations for the 2017-18 board.

Come for networking and community building time at 6:30 p.m., with the meeting beginning at 7. Location is the Ballinger Room at the Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave. NE, 98155.

And new this month: we’ll adjourn to Jersey’s Great Foods at 1306 N. 175th St. for after-meeting social time!
