Enumclaw School District Student Support Services will host a Family Resource Fair and open house from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday in the Enumclaw High School library, 226 Semanski St.

The Family Resource Fair is an opportunity for special education students of all grades levels and their families to connect with resources that may offer support and information.

Students with disabilities and their families will be able to talk directly with agencies and college/technical school representatives who can provide various levels of support depending on need. Services such as advocacy, job placement and transition to college or work and applying for social security are examples of assistance our students can receive.

In attendance will be representatives from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Developmental Disabilities, community and technical schools, internship programs, Special Education Parents Advisory Council, ARC of King County, Special Olympics, Green River Community College and Parks and Recreation (Special Programs).
