Parent to Parent Resources

PARENT MENTOR PARTNERSHIP

The Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership is an initiative by the Georgia Department of Education, created to improve the relationship between parents (and guardians) whose children receive special education services in school. It is my goal to gain parent participation in events, be the communication bridge for parents to the school system, and help the Jackson County School District continue to be a leader in the area of Special Education.

HOW YOUR PARENT MENTOR CAN HELP

• I can and will support you in your efforts to encourage and support family engagement and at home learning.

• Transition learning and planning (Pre-K, school to school, and late)

• Help parents understand the IEP process, 504s, RTI, and other supportive services (especially for those who are just receiving a diagnosis)

• Assist teachers with finding resources

• Attend IEP meetings with parents to be an assistant and another resource.

• Provide resources to parents.
