Medford Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC)
The following is a proposed calendar for the 2014-2015 Academic Year. Events are subject to change. Please check Connect With SEPAC below on how to contact us for more information.
April
“Special Education in Medford”
Wednesday, April 8
7-9 pm Andrew Middle School
Q&A Panel with Special Education Administration and Staff to give an overview of Medford Special Education Programs and Services and answer parent questions.
May
“Who Cares About Kelsey?” Documentary Film Screening
Wednesday, May 8
7-9 pm Andrews Middle School
Do you have a child who has social/emotional and/or behavioral challenges at school? Come see this remarkable film by Dan Habib which documents the lives of students with emotional/behavioral challenges. The film vividly captures innovative educational approaches that help these students to succeed – while improving the overall school culture and climate. We see high school senior Kelsey Carroll’s transformation from a defiant and disruptive “problem student” to a motivated and self-confident young woman. Along the way, critical figures in her life play important roles in an education revolution that’s about empowering—not overpowering—students with emotional/behavioral disabilities.
Including, a youth panel who will share their school experience and what they want our community to know about what matters most to our teenage students. The panel will offer a rare youth prospective that will leave you feeling inspired and motivated. There will be light refreshments and a question and answer period following the youth panel.
June
“End of Year Social / Celebration”
Wednesday, June 10
Time and Location TBD
Join us for family fun as we celebrate the differences that make us beautiful. Entertainment and refreshments. More information to follow.
