On Nov. 30, East Willison School District brought together parents and educators for the Special Education Parent Council (SEPC) Fall Event. This annual conference, which began in 2018, showcases the educational strategies and initiatives that are driving engagement and success at the three district schools: The Wheatley School, Willets Road School and North Side Elementary.

A primary focus of this year’s SEPC conference was the importance of the home-school connection in fostering a passion for learning and increasing student outcomes. Attendees shared ideas and tool that help engage students and allow parents and teachers to be more closely aligned in the educational process.

Following the event, feedback from parents highlighted their appreciation for the informative sessions, including mindfulness and movement strategies, family game night ideas and the innovative responsive classroom strategy, a student-centered, social and emotional learning approach to teaching and discipline.
