Friends of Robert Eagle Staff Middle School PTSA

I’m reach­ing out to share a resource that could be real­ly valu­able for your school community—and to ask if you’d be will­ing to share this with fam­i­lies.

As a par­ent of a child with dis­abil­i­ties in Seat­tle Pub­lic Schools, I’ve seen both how hard school teams work to sup­port stu­dents and how often staff & fam­i­lies are left with­out tools that tru­ly address the root caus­es of behav­ior. That’s what drew me to Dr. Ross Greene’s work.

On May 12 (6–8pm), the Seat­tle Spe­cial Edu­ca­tion PTSA is host­ing a free webi­nar with Dr. Ross Greene on Col­lab­o­ra­tive & Proac­tive Solu­tions (CPS), co-spon­sored by Roots of Inclu­sion, All Youth Belong, The Arc of King Coun­ty, and OSPI. He’ll be dis­cussing his new book and how CPS can be applied in Seattle’s school con­text.

For PTAs, this is a chance to help fam­i­lies bet­ter under­stand the “why” behind stu­dent behav­ior and learn approach­es that reduce con­flict, improve com­mu­ni­ca­tion with schools, and sup­port more inclu­sive classrooms—benefiting all stu­dents.

Fam­i­lies and edu­ca­tors can reg­is­ter here: bit.ly/4syu3Pr
Edu­ca­tors can earn clock hours through PDEn­roller (link sent sep­a­rate­ly)

As Seat­tle Pub­lic Schools enters a new chap­ter focused on safe­ty, inclu­sion, and authen­tic fam­i­ly part­ner­ship, this is a moment to come togeth­er and explore solu­tions that actu­al­ly work for kids.

I would deeply appre­ci­ate your adding the fol­low­ing blurb/graphic into your newslet­ter to adver­tise the event. If your PTA is inter­est­ed, I’d be hap­py to con­nect to answer ques­tions.

Thank you for help­ing get this out to your com­mu­ni­ty,

Lau­ra Rose Mur­phy
