We will have an open agenda for the first meeting, to give you all a chance to reconnect and discuss how the start of the year seems to be going, and to welcome new parents. Please feel free to bring a friend, as all Andover parents of students with special needs are welcome at our monthly meetings. Most meetings will have a content-based focus with a guest speaker and discussion, but our first and last meetings of the year will have an open agenda to facilitate parent networking and connection.
