Shoreline Special Education PTSA

Our mission is to build community within and between student groups, caregivers and staff, and to advocate for special education students and for equitable, inclusive education for all.  

We envision a Shoreline School District community where every child is valued and authentically included, without segregated special education.  We envision a process where caregivers feel empowered and prepared to support student-centered special education planning in partnership with educators.

Member Meeting: IEP Tips No One Told You: What We’ve Learned: After electing our nominating committee, SEPTSA Board members will draw upon our personal experiences to share our favorite IEP tips that we wish we knew from the start. We’ll also share misconceptions we’ve had and answer IEP questions from our perspectives as caregivers. Thursday, March 12 at 7pm over Zoom. Registration required.

Volunteer Opportunities:  We have several volunteer opportunities that can scale to the time and energy you have to give! Have only a couple of hours twice a year? Have a couple of hours a month? Have more time? We would love to discuss how you can support students, teachers, staff, and families in our district. Most opportunities can happen at times set by you. Please see our volunteer requests for current ideas. If you have a skill or idea you want to develop or contribute, please email us and let's talk!
