Stamford Coalition of Parents Expecting Success
SCOPES is group of parent volunteers dedicated to
improving the lives of families in our community, especially
those with children who can and should receive special
education services. Working as a Committee of the Parent
Teacher Council of Stamford, SCOPES will provide a parent
support network and serve as a community resource on
issues related to special education.
SCOPES is composed of an Advisory Board and two Co-Presidents.
We have a Parent Contact at the schools listed below.
If you have a question, or want to become involved,
please contact one of our Co-Presidents or the SCOPES
Parent Contact at your school.
Our key objectives
include:
- Providing outreach and a support network for parents,
including a website that will provide access to relevant
information and links.
- Collaborating with Stamford Public Schools in an
effort to continually improve the educational opportunities
available within our schools.
Who will SCOPES
help?
- Parents and/or guardians of children from birth
to age 21 who receive special education services-in
or out the community.
- Parents who think their child may have learning
issues, behavioral issues, attention issues, who may
not have many friends, or who is socially isolated.
- Parents who are just learning about the special
education process and Individualized Education Plans
(IEPs).
- Parents who need support and would like to learn
to advocate more effectively for their children.
