Mission
Statement
The Special Education Parent Advisory Council (TSEPAC) is a group of volunteer
parents and guardians of children with various special needs in the town
of Tewksbury. The TSEPAC works in partnership with the Tewksbury Special
Education Department in an effort to provide all of Tewksbury’s
special education children, their families, their teachers, and their
schools with the support and resources needed for these children to successfully
achieve their educational goals as well as their extracurricular activities.
We do this by providing parent/guardian and teacher workshops, fundraisers,
sports programs, and various other resources to support both the Special
Education Department as well as the families. We invite and welcome all
who are interested in becoming actively involved to attend our meetings
and events and we encourage all to share any suggestions, ideas and information
in an effort to continue to sustain open communication between the TSEPAC
and the Special Education Department, as well as to benefit and support
these children, their families, and their educators..
Our
Objectives
• Promote and support an innovative educational environment where
children with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities
and a school and community environment where all children are encouraged
to reach their full potential.
• Promote a
network for all families of children with disabilities and provide a forum
to share information and discuss matters of relative interest and concern
regarding our children.
• Promote communication
and programs within the community to encourage the understanding, respect,
acceptance, and inclusion of children with disabilities.
• Collaborate
with the school community to continually improve the educational opportunities
available within and without our schools that promote improved educational
outcomes for children with disabilities.
