Our meetings and forums are an opportunity for parents to socialize and to get information and support.
During the school year, meetings are held on Thursday nights at 7 pm, unless noted otherwise, and include guest speakers and refreshments.
The Executive Committee is available immediately after the meeting.
All meetings are held in the Brosnan Building,
Cafeteria, unless noted otherwise.
We are the district-wide Special Education PTA for the Northport-East Northport school district.
We pride ourselves in advocating for special education programs and have created and sponsor therapeutic after-school activities in our community.

As per NYS PTA, SEPTA is a unit organized for those interested in the issues of educating gifted or special needs children.
In our district, we have both SEPTA and a Gifted & Talented Parent Association. Special education is a free appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for children who require differentiated programs and/or services beyond those usually provided by the regular school curriculum.
Join SEPTA to receive e-mail blasts regarding programs and opportunities available to all students.
Become an active member and voice in our community. We work as a team to advocate as a whole for our children.
Contact any Executive Board member if you have concerns or suggestions.
Consult the district calendar for more information; the "When in Doubt, Please Check It Out" page is a good resource.
It is SEPTA's mission to advocate and promote special education, as well as to support each other as parents of children with special needs. SEPTA is not just for parents; it is for teachers, administrators and friends, too.
You do not have to have a child with special needs to show support. We encourage you to get involved!
