Join the Shoreline Special Needs PTSA this school year

Summer isn’t quite over yet, but the incoming board for the Shoreline Special Needs PTSA is busy getting organized for the new school year.

Member enrollment is now open through the chapter’s website. You’ll find meeting dates and other background there, too.

Approximately 1,000 students, or 12 percent, of children and youth enrolled the Shoreline School District are served by special education plans.

The Shoreline Special Needs PTSA focuses on information sharing, advocacy, special education training and resources for families, community members, neighbors and others. We have a thriving Facebook community as well.

For the new school year, chapter priorities include:

• Supplying more schools with sensory kits
• Providing micro classroom grants
• Collaborating with the district on inclusion strategies
• Expanding the number of schools offering respite/recharge rooms during events
• Delivering teacher/staff recognition

Especially for those families with a child who has a 504 plan or IEP, we hope you will join us for learning and camaraderie this year!
