About the Special Education Parent Mentor 

 

Angela Dyer – Rockdale County Public Schools Parent Mentor

 

You may not be familiar with the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership… so, I wanted to share a little bit about the Parent Mentor partnership and myself!

The Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership is an initiative by the Georgia Department of Education, created to improve the relationship between parents (and guardians) whose children receive special education services and the school system. I am a resource through the learning support department to provide special education mentorship to parents, guardians, and stakeholders.

It is important for you to know that every parent mentor must have a child who has received special education services. I have had two of my four children receive special education services through Rockdale County Public Schools. I utilized the Babies Can’t Wait program before my child was three. My family continued the learning support educational journey all the way to researching and sending my children to college. My first 17 years working for Rockdale County Schools have been in special education classrooms as a paraprofessional. I am now the Parent Mentor and am looking forward to partnering with you.

It is my passion to serve students and their families!

I am available for parents in a variety of ways. We can meet face-to - face at your child’s school, at my office, or virtually via Teams for convenience, we can also communicate by phone or email.

 

Sincerely,

Angela Dyer
