About the Special Education Parent Mentor
My name is Sirena Graves and I am the Special Education Parent Mentor for RCPS. I have the privilege of being available to assist you as you guide your child through his or her school career. As a parent of children who experience various challenges and who currently receive benefits from special education services in RCPS, I understand and can provide support to parents in various ways. I work to build a bridge between parents, administrators, and teachers to help support success and better outcomes for students with disabilities. My goal is to help families find positive solutions and support collaboration with your child's teachers and school administrators.
I graduated from Heritage High School (Class of 1986). I am one of the Co-Founders of the Rockdale County Autism Support Group, Coach for Special Olympics, and a Parent 2 Parent Mentor. I am very active and love to participate in our community.
