Knowing Students' Rights and the Way to Achieve Them
August 28, 2017
Naperville Municipal Building – Room B
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
This will be a chance for your parents to get very clear, specific, information about all the things that they may not be aware of in terms of their children's rights. Although these may be spelled out in the Procedural Safeguards given to parents, they are rarely told families. Unless you know this "secret menu” your child may not be receiving the full extent of services and supports they require.
