From the Director

January 2026

Greetings!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

We started the year with a wonderful presentation by our MassPAC representative, Leslie Leslie. I would like to begin by thanking all those who attended the recent presentation on the importance of a Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC). We truly appreciated the thoughtful questions, engagement, and shared commitment to strengthening family-school partnerships.

In the coming weeks, I will be meeting with several volunteers to discuss next steps in reestablishing this important organization so that we can proactively partner with families. Student Services will continue to explore and plan for the development of a SEPAC, and we look forward to collaborating closely with families and staff as this work moves forward.

Watch for additional updates as planning continues! Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Warm regards,
Meg Garvey
