Engagement Meetings for Families of Students with Disabilities

Engagement Meetings for Families of Students with Disabilities

Hello Monroe School District Families,

As we begin a new school year, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself to those I haven’t had the chance to meet and reconnect with those I have. My name is David Paratore, and I’m the Chief of Student Services for Monroe School District, overseeing all special education and section 504 programs district-wide.

Last year, we hosted monthly meetings for families of students with disabilities, and they were so well-received that we’re excited to continue them this year! These meetings are informal and give families a chance to ask questions, share insights, and connect with one another.

Our first meeting is set for October 15, 2025, from 9:00-10:00 a.m., and I’d love for families of students currently receiving services and those who would like more information about our special education and section 504 programs to join us! You’re welcome to attend any or all of the monthly meetings throughout the year. 

Meetings will be held in person at the District Administration Office (14692 179th Avenue NE, Monroe) and virtually via Zoom for those who can’t attend in person. Zoom links will be shared closer to each meeting date.

To accommodate families' varying schedules, some meetings will be held in the mornings and some in the evenings. Please mark your calendars for the following dates:

  • October 15, 2024 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • November 12, 2024 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • December 10, 2024 – 6:00-7:00 p.m.
  • January 21, 2025 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • February 18, 2025 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • March 18, 2025 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • April 15, 2025 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.
  • May 20, 2025 – 6:00-7:00 p.m.
  • June 3, 2025 – 9:00-10:00 a.m.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you this year as we work together to support your students! Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

Warm regards,

David Paratore
