Please plan to attend the STGRSD

Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) Meeting

Thursday, March 20, 2025

6:00-7:30 p.m. - Powder Mill School Library

We will be joined by Ann Marie Scherpa, Special Education Teacher and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at Woodland School, who will give a short explanation of the work the BCBAs do within our district and then answer your questions.

We will also answer general questions about the new Individual Education Program (IEP) format, review a draft of the STGRSD SEPAC By-laws, and answer any questions you have about becoming a SEPAC member or officer.

Our goal is to have the SEPAC be a platform and resource for the children and families of the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District.

We look forward to seeing you on March 25th at 6:00 p.m. in the Powder Mill Library.

Please call the Special Education Office at 569-0111 with questions.

Please note: This meeting is open to any member of the STGRSD community and the general public.
