November EPLAC Meeting Announced

Hello EP Families!
Do you have a child receiving special education services in Providence
The East Providence Local Advisory for Special Education, EPLAC, Welcomes all to the November Meeting on Tuesday November 26 @6 pm in the Kent Heights School library. This month’s meeting features a workshop on How to create a Safe Space in your Classroom, Home, and Community
A short meeting will follow.

You may attend all meetings, and also become a member!
What does it mean to be a member?
Becoming a member of EPLAC means joining a community of families, educators, and advocates dedicated to improving the educational experience for all students, especially those with special needs. As a member, you will:
• Be informed of upcoming meetings, workshops, and events.
• Have opportunities to network with other families and share valuable resources.
• Contribute your voice to discussions that shape policies and practices in our schools.
• Help us foster a stronger partnership between home and school to support every student’s success.

Why is family involvement so important?
It is vital for family members to attend our meetings, as EPLAC focuses on ensuring at least 51% family membership. We need a quorum of family members to vote and approve minutes during meetings. Your presence and participation help ensure that family voices are heard, and decisions are made that reflect the needs of our community.

Meetings are held monthly
We hope to see you there!!
