Dear Port Washington Families,

As we head into our annual review season, I wanted to remind you that PPS meetings for the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), Committee on Special Education (CSE), and Section 504 Meetings are virtual for the 2022-2023 school year.  We will however continue to provide the choice of an in-person meeting to parents.  If you prefer an in-person meeting, please contact PPS or the building psychologist in advance of any meeting being scheduled.  We will continue to monitor these requests and adjust as needed.  

Thank you in advance for your continued cooperation.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Allen, Psy.D.

Assistant Superintendent of Pupil Personnel Services

A Thought Exchange was done in June to ascertain the community's thoughts on continuing Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), Committee on Special Education (CSE), and Section 504 Meetings.  Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas with us.  The feedback we received from parents was that virtual meetings with an in-person option was preferred.

In order to provide this choice to parents, our meeting format for the 2022-2023 school year will be virtual.  If a person wants an in-person meeting, please contact PPS or the building psychologist in advance of any meeting being scheduled.  We will continue to monitor these requests and adjust as needed.
