Andover SEPAC is a community of and for families of children with diverse needs.
Announcements!
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has updated the IEP forms and APS will implement the new process starting in the Fall of 2024.
The new IEP form centers on the student's vision, identifies language acquisition issues for English learners in the student profile, and intentionally addresses transition planning for all age groups.

During the 2023-24 school year, Andover Public Schools began implementing The RULER Approach, developed from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. This involves training our educators, then beginning rolling out to students K-8 in the 2024-25 school year, and our Preschool & Andover High School in 2025-26.

Upcoming Events!
Andover SEPAC facilitates collaboration between families, the District and staff, the School Committee, and the community in order to promote inclusion, understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with diverse needs in our community.
Every public school district in Massachusetts is required to establish a SEPAC. Massachusetts state regulations assigns both an advisory and participatory function to SEPACs. A SEPAC is different from a PTA or PTO. It serves all families of children with neurodiverse and disability needs from the entire school district.
