Special Education Parent Teacher Association, Redwood City

What is SEPTAR?

Founded on January 25, 2007 as the first district-wide special education PTA in the Redwood City School District, SEPTAR offers a range of support services for families and educators, including community and family resources, parent education presentations, student enrichment programs, and social activities.

We collaborate with general education teachers, families, and students to help successfully include students with disabilities in the classroom, while also providing educators with training and grant opportunities. Additionally, our interactive Facebook and Google groups foster community building and ongoing support.
