SEPTA is a district-wide Special Education Parent Teacher Association, organized for the specific purpose of providing information and support to parents of children with unique educational challanges, including children with 504 plans, IEP’s, receiving RTI or general building level support.
Our mission is to create a true sense of community for all families of children with disabilities, from EI and CPSE through high school to age 21. SEPTA sponsors educational speaker events, parent network nites, and library resources in an effort to provide all parents and care givers the resources they need and the support from others who travel the same path.
All are welcome. For more information, contact one of our SEPTA officers.
Pleasantville SEPTA presents: “Rachel’s Challenge” Pleasantville SEPTA was honored to bring the Rachel’s Challenge program to our community on the first day of school this September. Rachel Scott was the first child killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion, coupled with the contents of her six diaries, have become the foundation for one of the most successful, life-changing school programs in America. (for more info,see www.rachelschallenge.com) Teachers, parents and students have already been calling and e-mailing SEPTA with amazing stories of kindness. Over 100 students have volunteered to participate in "FOR" (Friends of Rachel) at school and will be sponsoring student programs and continue to raise awareness at school and in our community! We encourage every parent & student who was able to attend this powerful event to share their experience with friends, family and neighbors....start a chain reaction!
