Welcome! The Katonah-Lewisboro Special Education Parent Teacher Organization (SEPTO) is a district-wide parent teacher organization that provides information and support to parents of children of all ages, elementary through high school, with learning differences and special needs.

We are a welcoming community of parents who support each other in this journey we share of raising a child with unique educational needs.

We hold monthly parent meetups (sometimes in person, sometimes virtual), and monthly in person gatherings for kids of all abilities via the Buddies United program.  For more information, please take a look at the brochure below.

2024-2025 SEPTO meetings

SEPTO holds monthly meetings to allow caregivers to come together to share concerns, experiences, and advice with others who understand the special challenges and joys of raising children who need special services or accommodations.
