The MCCPTA Special Education Committee is seeking nominations that reflect outstanding contributions to the success of students with special needs by Students, Parents, Educators and Programs.
The Event – Each year the MCCPTA Special Education Committee holds a recognition ceremony in the spring to honor educators, programs, parents, and students who foster acceptance and provide outstanding support to students with special needs in MCPS during the school year. This year the ceremony will tentatively be held on Monday, May 9, 2016 at Rockville High School. Various guests will include families, community members, MCCPTA leadership, MCPS administrators, Members of the Board of Education and the County Council, etc.
The Purpose – This ceremony is an important way for the special needs community to say thank you to those who through instinct, creativity, empathy, patience, and determination, help our children enjoy success. It is also a way to acknowledge the benefits of investing in programs for students with disabilities.
The Process – Any parent, administrator, educator, or student can submit nominations.
Requests for Nominations – The MCCPTA Special Education Committee is soliciting nominations of students, parents, educators, and programs for recognition at this year’s ceremony.
