PASET is a parent organization designed to facilitate the exchange of information and promote parent advocacy in an effort to improve the school system for ALL children.
Our amazing team is made up of parents and caregivers who are willing to share information and experience, help direct parents when necessary and provide district personnel with newsletter or announcement materials.
We have a liaison that represents us at each of the four elementary schools, the middle school and the high school. Most reps attend our monthly SEPAC meetings and are willing to share their experiences with other parents.
Originally know as "ASET", this parent organization was founded by forward thinking parents in the early 1970s in an effort to advocate for fairness and inclusion for their children who had special educational needs.
ASET has slowly evolved into "PASET" which stands for Parents Association for Special Education in Tenafly.
Our parent support group is designed to exchange information and promote advocacy in an effort to ensure that all our children have an effective, healthy, rewarding school day, each and every day.
We are a welcoming place for parents to turn to when they are navigating the uncharted territory of Special Education.
We work together with Tenafly District Administrators to help develop town programs. We sponsor meetings with guest speakers and arrange informal breakfast meetings to discuss areas of concern and interest.
PASET has developed a Parent Directory and continues to expand its resources with local parent referrals. Working together with other nonprofits in town has allowed us to be part of yearly fundraisers.
On the first Wednesday of each month during the school year is when we hold our meetings. Typically, these meetings are held in-person. However, due to COVID, we will be meeting virtually via GoogleMeets. Please contact us for the link to access these meetings.
Immediately following our PASET meetings, which is more of an informal meeting, we then meet with Ms. Suzanne Bassett, the Assistant to the Superintendent for Special Services at Tenafly Schools. These are the monthly SEPAC meetings that are held at the Tenafly Board of Education. Here is where we are able to meet with guest speakers, get valuable updates about what is going on in the district and so on.
