Watch for upcoming news about our annual Resource Fair. Our committee is working hard on finalizing a date and location. We should have even more vendors this year than last year as our fair continues to grow. The fair is a great way to find out what resources are available in the area for students and families.

Inclusion tshirts are in the final design selection process. Our own graphic design students at FISD CTE Center created the designs! Watch for order forms and a sample shirt at your school soon!

Don’t forget to check out our SAGE Calendar for upcoming opportunities. We add dates on a weekly basis! If an event sounds like a good fit for your student or family, you are welcome to attend whether your child is in special education, receives gifted services or not. We welcome everyone and are here to serve all! Our calendar is also broken down by either Special Education or Gifted Education if you wish to view just one or the other.

SAGE stands for “Special and Gifted Education,” but our scope is to benefit all students associated with Frisco ISD.  We endeavor to promote a close alliance between parents and educators of diverse learners in hopes of benefitting ALL children.  SAGE is a committee of the Frisco ISD Council of PTAs.  With your participation, we can bring about a PTA based network of families and teachers addressing the unique needs of our children.  It is vital that we combine our knowledge, our experience and our resources to benefit all of our children along the way.  For questions, suggestions or comments, e-mail Cindy Badon at friscosage@gmail.com . Join the SAGE mailing list and never miss an update or meeting! Please specify special education list, 504, or gifted / talented list.  Send requests to sagenewsflash@gmail.com .
