August 2022 Edition
Mehlville School District is starting a Special Education Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
Special School District's Parent Advisory Council mission is to effectively collaborate with and advise its stakeholders (including parent/guardians, the SSD Board of Education, Governing Council, SSD administration and staff, and partnering school district administrators and staff) in order to improve the educational, self-efficacy, and social outcomes of each student served by SSD.
We are very excited to announce that the Mehlville School District will be hosting a local parent advisory council. We are just getting started, so stay tuned for more information.
Parent Education Diversity Awareness is now Family and Community Engagement (FACE)
FACE provides families with learning opportunities, information, and much much more!
