Jefferson Elementary PTA Special Education Committee
Our PTA Special Education Committee is dedicated to creating meaningful events and initiatives that support neurodiverse students at Jefferson and throughout the community. By fostering understanding, connection, and celebration, this committee helps ensure that every child feels valued and included. We welcome families of students with IEPs, 504s, students receiving services outside of school, and also neurotypical students who want to support their peers and promote inclusion!

Jefferson has launched a new Friendship Club at our school in partnership with the Friendship Foundation, the local nonprofit that hosts the annual Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk. Our Friendship Club is a once-a-month lunchtime club using games and activities to help students learn friendship building skills. If you have a student with special needs and/or social challenges who would benefit from extra practice with their peers, or if you have a student who wants to help their peers work on friendship skills, please invite them to check out our club. The club meets the 2nd Thursday of every month. We are requesting that each club member submit an application. We are also looking for parent volunteers to help facilitate the club. Contact specialed@jeffersonptarb.org for more information.
