Robbinsville RISES, the Special Education Parent Advisory Group (SEPAG) for Robbinsville Public Schools, will welcome all district families to an open house and resource fair on Monday, Nov. 10 at Robbinsville High School.
The event will take place from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at 155 Robbinsville Edinburgh Road and will include informational sessions, local resources, and student-led fun for children.
This is the first event of its kind organized by Robbinsville RISES, a parent-run advisory group that shares resources and addresses challenges affecting students with disabilities in every New Jersey school district.
Three 30-minute informational sessions will be offered during the evening, each focusing on a key topic relevant to Robbinsville students and families:
Understanding Challenging BehaviorsInternet Safety & Bullying PreventionIEP/504 Eligibility Process
In addition to the presentations, a resource fair will give parents and caregivers the opportunity to connect with local organizations, service providers and support networks.
“We are pleased to invite all members of the Robbinsville community to this event and give them an opportunity to get acquainted with Robbinsville RISES and its great work,” said Georgine Johnson, director of student services for Robbinsville Public Schools.
To ensure parents can attend without needing to secure childcare, Robbinsville RISES will offer a “Family Fun Zone” with supervised activities including board games, creative projects and interactive entertainment. The zone will be led by student volunteers from Robbinsville High School.
“Robbinsville RISES consistently serves as a positive voice in our school district, ensuring the needs of all students are met,” said Superintendent Dr. Patrick Pizzo. “I encourage everyone to come to the open house to meet the great people running the organization and learn from the informative presentations.”
Attendance is free and open to the public. Organizers encourage advance registration to ensure sufficient space and resources.
Families and organizations interested in attending or participating can register through the link provided by the district.
