The SEPAC Special Educator Awards are presented to Newton faculty and staff members who have done exceptional work with students receiving special education services. Parents, guardians and students may submit nominations and may nominate any staff member who they believe has done exceptional work. In the past, we’ve had regular education teachers, special education teachers, aides, BT’s, secretaries, principals and custodians receive awards.
Please note that the awards do not identify you or your child by name, to preserve the child’s confidentiality. Only the honoree is given the name of the person who nominated him or her.
Please submit your nomination by May 31 to 2018 SEPAC Awards Nomination
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• PLEASE only nominate those who have done exceptional work.
• DON’T feel like you must nominate your child’s entire team to avoid hurt feelings.
• PLEASE submit your nomination ASAP! This will enable your honoree to plan to attend the ceremony and invite family/friends, and submitting your nominations early will allow SEPAC to plan the food accordingly
• PLEASE limit your nominations to faculty and staff who have worked with your child during the 2017-2018 school year
