Parents’ Forums at Bay Street

A series of workshops for parents, educators, and community members about the challenges faced by students today will begin Tuesday at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

Sponsored by the East End Special Education Parent Teacher Organization, or SEPTO, the series is dubbed Parent University. It will introduce a new topic each Tuesday through April 5 in one-hour sessions that will feature expert presenters.

According to a news release, those who want to learn more about “managing the challenges facing children in and out of the school setting” may sign up for individual sessions or the entire six-week series. Topics of discussion will include “Making Sense of the Common Core: A Parent’s Guide to Math Instruction” on March 8, “Effects of Trauma and Building Resiliency” on March 15, “Recognizing and Responding to Self-Injury Behaviors in Today’s Youth” on March 22, and “Dangers of Social Networking: How to Identify and Respond” on April 5.

Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and each workshop will begin at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. A raffle will be held, with a drawing to take place on April 5. Proceeds will go toward future SEPTO events. More information and registration materials may be found at eastendsepto.com.
