MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to network, educate, and provide a unified voice for the rights of our children to a quality education and services.
WHO WE ARE
Bozeman Area SEPTA (Special Education Parent Teacher Association) is a coalition of families, teachers, administrators, and other advocates united in the effort to promote quality education and services for individuals with special needs and their families. The group was formed on April 7, 2008, as the first district-wide Special Education PTA in the Bozeman School District No. 7 and neighboring schools in the Bozeman area. SEPTA provides a forum enabling parents, teachers and experts in the field of Special Education to share their knowledge and experience.
WHAT WE DO
Goals and activities we do as a Special Education PTA include,
but are not limited to:
· Member-to-Member Network, connecting you to Congress
when help is needed on issues important to children,
schools
and families
· Raise community awareness
· Offer speakers and workshops
· Provide support and resources to families and
educators
· Have social and recreational opportunities for
our children
We meet every 2nd Tuesday of each month (except December) during the school year at the Willson School Board Room, located at 404 W. Main Street in Bozeman, Montana. Our monthly meetings are friendly, dynamic and provide an informal setting for the group to listen to guest speakers, learn about local, state and national educational issues, and network with various local resources and parents of children with special needs.
