Parent Mentor
Hello Parents,
My name is Amanda Locke and I am the proud parent of three children whose school careers took them through Claxton Elementary, Claxton Middle, and finally graduation from Claxton High School! One of my graduates had an IEP which is what brought me to the work of the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership. The Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership is parents and professionals working together to improve outcomes for students with disabilities by enhancing communication and collaboration between families, educators and the community. In other words, parent mentors walk alongside parents of students with IEP’s. I have served as a Parent Mentor in Evans County for more than 15 years. I am honored to assist parents as they support their children. I work with parents in many ways including to prepare for IEP meetings, to identify and apply for resources, and to prepare for life after graduation.
I look forward to working with you!
Amanda Locke
