This is a busy time of year for all of us, and I have a huge
favor to ask. The LISD Special Ed PTSA is a district-wide PTA
that serves families who have children using special ed
services, as well as educators and the community. Can you
please help us get the word out to your special ed families at
your school? Here’s what you can
EASILY do:
(1)
Have our
membership application available at your school
– at open house night and
whatever other venues you have available
a. The
application is
here, along with a
1-page brochure telling about our
PTSA that can be photocopied on the reverse side of the
application.
(2) Print
news from the Sp Ed PTSA in your school newsletter
– please send your newsletter editor’s contact info to
amy@texasturners.net so that we may send them monthly news
updates.
(3)
Find and
appoint someone at your campus who has a heart for Special Ed to
be a Liaison
between your school and the
Sp Ed PTSA. Liaisons just help us get information out,
it’s an easy job.
Current
LISD campus liaisons.
If your school isn’t on this
list, we’d love your help in finding a Liaison. We’d also
really love to have a Liaison from Dale Jackson Career Center
and Lewisville Learning Center!
Please contact me if you have
any questions or suggestions or could use additional materials.
We are here to help you!

Christian Community Action (CCA)
Dressed to Learn is a partnership between the Lewisville Council of PTAs
and Communities in Schools of North Texas (CISNT), a non-profit
organization whose mission is … coordinating and providing
community based solutions that challenge young people to
overcome barriers, succeed in school and prepare for life. It is
intended to combine the resources of both the Lewisville Council
of PTAs and the individual local PTA units in order to supply
new clothing to children in need as identified by counselors,
nurses, teachers, or administrators of schools within LISD. As a
result of a previous, ongoing relationship with LISD, CISNT
currently has Campus Managers on a number of LISD campuses, and
through them, clothing is available to any LISD student in need
through the Dressed to Learn Program.
Goals for the 2005-06 school year included building continued
awareness of the program at the local units and encouraging PTAs
to have New Clothing Drives. Drives can be scheduled at any time
throughout the year. We encourage drives for uniform type
clothing (khaki pants/shorts and white collared golf type shirts
with no logos) as that is the greatest need at this time and can
be worn by any student in need of school appropriate clothes
regardless of the uniform policy in their school. (Except for
the “Gently Used” coat drive, this program is for new clothing
only.)
Please determine if there is a place to support the Dressed
to Learn Program to benefit children in need in LISD as your PTA
begins developing programs for the year. Additionally, if
supported by your PTA, monetary donations can be made to this
program though the Council.
For more information or to schedule a drive, please contact
Jan Picardi at (972)
