SPARK
Special Education Parents Accessing Resources and Knowledge
A Northwest Suburban Council of PTA/PTSA committee serving families of children with special needs in Community Consolidated School District 15 and beyond.
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 and educators will access this group for the benefit of their children, themselves, and others.
When we meet...
SPARK programs are monthly on Monday evenings, with one exception in December at:
Walter R. Sundling Junior High School
1100 N. Smith Street, Palatine
7:00–8:30 p.m.
Who we are reaching...
SPARK programs are free, open, and encouraged for ALL parents, educators, and administrators.
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!

Resource and Summer Fair!! @ Sundling Gymnasium
Join us as we partner with District 15 for the exciting collection of local vendors and organizations that will showcase their opportunities to involve our children over the summer in a wide variety of activities. Last year, over 30 vendors shared with us many therapeutic, educational and recreational opportunities available to help the summer be successful and fun for our kids. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to plan ahead and reduce the stress and anxiety that presents itself in those summer months.
