Northport-East Northport SEPTA

What We Do

We are the district-wide Special Education PTA for the Northport-East Northport school district. We pride ourselves in advocating for special education programs and have created and sponsor therapeutic after-school activities in our community.

• Meetings
  
• After-school programs/events
• Informational Speakers/Workshops

As per NYS PTA, SEPTA is a unit organized for those interested in the issues of educating gifted or special needs children.

In our district, we have both SEPTA and Gifted & Talented PTAs. Special education is a free appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for children who require differentiated programs and/or services beyond those usually provided by the regular school curriculum. 

Remember to Visit Our Website Often!

• Join SEPTA to receive e-mail blastsregarding programs and opportunities available to all students.
• Become an active member and voice in our community. We work as a team to advocate as a whole for our children.
• Contact any Executive Board member if you have concerns or suggestions.
• Consult the district calendar for more information; the "When in Doubt, Please Check It Out" page is a good resource.
• It is SEPTA's mission to advocate and promote special education, as well as to support each other as parents of special needs children. SEPTA is not just for parents; it is for teachers, administrators and friends, too.
• You do not have to have a special needs child to show support. We encourage you to get involved!
