SPARK
Special Education Parents Accessing Resources and Knowledge
A Northwest Suburban Council of PTSA committee serving families of children
with special needs in Community Consolidated School District 15.
Why we exist...
SPARK was formed in response to the growing needs of families whose children learn differently or have special needs. As parents trying to navigate the system, we realize the importance of providing:
· Relevant resource programs related to special education
· Opportunities to network
· Links to parents with outside sources
· Publications and books on various special education topics
What we believe...
SPARK believes in providing a means to educate parents, provide resources, network, and support families of all children receiving special education. This is accomplished at the district level through monthly evening programs with outside speakers. We also have SPARK representatives at each school who are a local contact and resource to the individual schools.
Our hope is that parents will access this group for the benefit
of their children, themselves, and others.
When we meet...
SPARK programs will usually be held the last Monday of each month at either:
Marion Jordan School, 100 N. Harrison Avenue, Palatine OR
Winston Campus, 900 E. Palatine Road, Palatine
7:00–8:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria
Who we are reaching...
SPARK programs are free and open to all parents and educators.
If you would like to be contacted by or connected with SPARK, you can contact your PTA President for the name and number
of your SPARK representative, or contact SPARK Co-Chairs Dawn Wiebe (847) 221-2313 or Lisa Traina (847) 358-7828 for more information.
SPARK is proud to be in partnership with PTA!
