SEPAC Meeting - February 1, 2012
The next meeting of the Tyngsborough Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SEPAC) is Wed., Feb. 1, 2012 at 6:00pm in the 2nd Floor Library at Tyngsborough Elementary School, 205 Westford Rd., Tyngsborough, MA. This will be a regular meeting of the Tyngsborough SEPAC and will include an account update from Joe Messina. Following the business portion of the meeting (6-6:30), Dianna Fulreader, TES Assistant Principal & Beth Nolan-Stack, Behavior Specialist will present on "Social Thinking". Social thinking is what we do when we interact with people: we think about them. And how we think about people affects how we behave toward them, which in turn affects how others respond to us, which in turn affects our own emotions.
Assistant Superintendent's Notes, January 27, 2012
Forming and maintaining strong partnerships between schools and families are essential to a student's success. Your role in this partnership is to stay up to date and informed on your child's/student's progress in all areas of the curriculum, social emotional development and peer relationships. Attending parent teacher conferences and other school sponsored events allow you to become more familiar with your schools and staff members. Reach out to teachers and administrators with your questions, concerns, or for feedback on how to best support your child's success.
