The special education process can be confusing and overwhelming.  Join other PS 39 parents in a group designed to help!  Families of students with IEP's, 504 plans, or families going through the referral process are invited to learn from other parents and share their own knowledge and experiences.

Our first meeting will be a planning meeting to learn more about resources and supports would be helpful to parents at the school.  Questions or want more information? Contact our Parent Coordinator, Karen Herskowitz (kherskowitz@ps39.org)
