Get “Unplugged and Connected” in March

If sometimes you and your family just feel too “plugged in,” Newton offers a month-long remedy in March. In its 11th year, “Unplugged and Connected” hopes to promote, invigorate, and strengthen personal relationships by minimizing the use of computers, televisions, and telephones.

Check out this colorful calendar of suggested activities for each of the 31 days of March, Newton Unplugged encourages people to approach the month differently than the other harried, electronically-charged times of the year.

Highlights include: “No Homework Night” on March 12th; “Newton Has Talent” competition on March 30th; special events at Musuem of Science, Museum of Fine Arts, and JFK Library; a special edition Funtastic Friday for 4th graders on March 14, and more!

Newton “Unplugged and Connected” is a proud collaboration of Newton Community Service Center through its Child Assault Prevention program, Newton City Hall, and the Newton School Department.

Basic Rights in Special Education

Please join the next meeting of the Newton Parent Advisory Council for Special Education (NewtonPAC), for a presentation on Basic Rights in Special Education, presented by Clare Vann of the Federation for Children with Special Needs (FCSN).

This workshop provides families with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Massachusetts Special Education Law and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). It is designed to help parents learn how to be effective partners with their child’s school to decide the child’s eligibility for special education, and to plan, make decisions and monitor their child’s progress in school.

The workshop will take place on March 11th at 7:30 pm, with light refreshments and networking beginning at 7:15 pm. The location is Room 210 at the Education Center, 100 Walnut Street. Any questions, please email Eileen Sandberg@ea********@*ol.com
