Support for Parents
Parent Mentor: The District’s Parent Mentor serves as a support person and an informational resource to assist parents with the special education process. The Parent Mentor Program is primarily funded by a grant through the Ohio Department of Education Office of Exceptional Children. The Parent Mentor has a webpage that provides connections to community resources and support, information on upcoming events (workshops, speakers, social/recreational opportunities), a resource library, information about specific topics of interest (the special education process, transition, guardianship), links to support groups, parent-to-parent networking, and many other topics. From the district’s main page, the Parent Mentor webpage can be accessed by selecting Parents, then Parent Mentor. You can also sign up to receive Parent Mentor E-alerts to stay up-to-date on valuable and often time-sensitive information, similar to how you register to receive general district and building news (click here for instructions). If you have any questions regarding the Parent Mentor program you can contact Darlene LaFontaine by email at lafontad@hudson.edu or by calling 330-653-1296.
