Why a Starfish?
A father and son went for a walk on the beach the day after a storm to survey the damage. They saw that thousands of starfish had washed ashore and were sure to die in the mid-day sun. The son began running up and down the beach, throwing as many as he could back into the water. The father saw this and said, “Son, look how many there are. What does it matter?” The son picked one up and threw it into the ocean stating, “It mattered to that one.”
Because Everyone Matters!
Mission Statement
The Hanover County Public Schools Department of Special Education established the Parent Resource Center (PRC) as a source of information, support, and training for parents, students, staff, and community members.
The PRC is focused on cultivating a collaborative culture between home and school. Our goal is to help parents better understand the special education process and become active participants in the development of their child’s education. Research shows that an increase in active participation and communication ensures greater student achievement and success later in life.
