The Newton Special Education 

Parent Advisory Council (Newton SEPAC) 


In case you have never heard of Newton SEPAC, the Newton Special Education Parent Advisory Council (Newton SEPAC) is an all-volunteer group of parents of children with special needs in Newton, MA. As mandated by Massachusetts law, we provide feedback to the School Committee and school district on special education programs and policies, and participate in their planning and development. Newton SEPAC also serves as a liaison between parents of students with special needs and school district administrators. SEPAC also has a few events coming up, please join us!

🐺 Wolf Fund – Power of the Pack



Your donations are already hard at work! This Fall, the Wolf Fund purchased new playground equipment — including 2 soccer nets, 18 tennis balls, 12 soccer balls, 12 basketballs, 12 kickballs, 12 hula hoops, 12 jump ropes, and a storage bin — for all Burr students to enjoy.
