Partners for Success

  • Partners for Success (PFS) is a program by the Garrett County Board of Education whose goal is to enhance the quality of education for students with special needs by supporting parent and school involvement. A Parent Liaison is employed by the Board of Education to coordinate and provide information and training for parents and educators throughout the county and serve as a resource for school and community services. In Garrett County Public Schools, the Partners for Success Parent Liaison is Sondra Tasker.
     
    Workshops, seminars, newsletters, and training provided by PFS will reflect parent and community needs and may include sign language, sibling workshops, support groups, estate planning, behavior management, understanding IEPs, and dealing with challenges of specific disorders. PFS also has an ever-expanding lending library for parents, students, and faculty. Books on a variety of disorders and behaviors, as well as sibling support and understanding, are available. If you have an interest in a specific area or know of a book, magazine, website, or other material that is a valuable resource, please feel free to contact Sondra at any time.
