WELCOME AUBURN, MASSACHUSETTS FAMILIES!

Welcome to our blog - the place for sharing, support and information for parents of children with special needs in the Auburn, MA community. More and more parents are signing up to join our online community, and that is very exciting! It also means that our community recognizes the need to be supportive to each other and to our schools. Raising a child with any special need is at best, difficult, and at worst it is heartbreaking, frustrating, and exhausting. Emotions can run the gamut, from elation to anger. We need to support each other through all of it.

As the manager of several online support communities since 2003, I have seen people vent their frustrations in a seemingly secure environment, only to find out that their words and print have been shared and caused significant problems for them. Please remain cautious about negative comments toward any particular persons, districts or situations that could be hurtful or harmful to your family or anyone else's family. This blog is not being moderated, but there are members here who work in the school systems, who have been invited as part of our efforts to create a cohesive, transparent, supportive community.

If you are having trouble with your school district, team, administrator or teachers, the most appropriate place to discuss those concerns are with your child's team. Thank you!

RECEPTION FOR OUR NEW DIRECTOR

Hi Everyone,

A few changes have taken place here in Auburn; first, we are no longer combining our PAC organization with Oxford. We may be partnering for speakers or individual resources, and we wish them the very best of luck!

IF YOU ARE AN OXFORD PARENT AND ARE ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE ALERT ME AT cherylrchan@gmail.com AND I WILL REMOVE YOU. THIS BLOG IS NOW DIRECTED ONLY TO AUBURN FAMILIES.

Second, and far more importantly, we have a new Director of Pupil Services! Please join me in welcoming Phil Campbell. I was on the search committee for the new Director, and I can tell you that Phil was absolutely my top pick, so I'm excited to have him aboard and I know you will be too!

The SEPAC will host a reception to welcome Phil on Tuesday, September 27th at 7:00pm, at 5 West Street (APS administrative offices). Light refreshments will be served.

Please help us spread the word to other families who may be interested in this event. Thank you, and see you on the 27th!

I hope everyone has a great start to the new year. If you have any questions please email me at any time!

Cheryl Chan
2011-2012 SEPAC chair
