Parent to Parent
 |
Students have a better chance of succeeding when good supports are in place.

When a family is new to the district, in crisis, or just looking for another parent to connect with, there are a number of ways we can help. You will
find that many parents have gone through the same or similar thing and as
a result have developed a Parent to Parent network within the district and with parents from other PACs. Join our Yahoo group or feel free to contact
us if you would like to speak with someone.
Because of the current economical crisis, many organizations are cutting
back on services and limiting or no longer offering support groups. We are
in the process of developing a list of support groups in the area and will post them soon. If you know of any, please send them to us and we will add
them to the list.

However, the Resource Center including the visual support work station will remain open and available at the 56 Chestnut Street location.
