Mission

The mission of the Mendon-Upton Parent Advisory Council on Special Education (PAC) is to facilitate understanding, respect, and appropriate education for all children, while supporting families and educators who are also striving for this goal.

We hope to achieve this mission by:

  • Providing a network of support for parents; including access to relevant information, training and emotional support.
  • Encouraging open communication, understanding and mutual respect among all students, parents, the community at large and district educators.
  • Collaborating with parent-teacher groups, school councils and other school organizations towards the betterment of education in the Mendon-Upton district.

Who We Are

The Mendon-Upton PAC is made up of parents of children with special needs and interested community members. Teachers and administrators often attend meetings as well, and our meetings are open to everyone. As parents of children with special needs, we face many challenges. Foremost is our search for effective programs and services to offer all children the opportunity to be successful learners among their peers. As part of this goal, we support and advocate for inclusion of special needs students in the classroom.

  • District wide Disability Awareness Programs

Dedicated to helping children in the Mendon-Upton School District reach their full potential.
