📣 Pickens County Schools Parent Training Success! 📣

Pickens County Schools proudly hosted two full days of Parent Training on January 13 -14, 2026 at Pickens County High School, Gordo High School, and Aliceville Elementary School. These days were filled with learning, fellowship, and meaningful engagement as parents gained valuable tools to support their children with disabilities.

We were truly privileged to partner with an outstanding group of presenters and agencies.

Parents were actively engaged and learned about expectations, transition planning, and available resources to support their children during school and beyond graduation.

Alesia Gill, Director of Special Education, emphasized the importance of parents taking full advantage of these services and partnerships, highlighting how agencies are making Pickens County a “Priority County” for service delivery.

💙 We value parents as true partners as they navigate the special education process. Our goal is to ensure families know what resources are available, how to access them, and who to contactwhen questions or concerns arise.

👉 Missed the meeting? Please contact your child’s Special Education Case Manager, and we will be happy to share the information with you.

🎉 We sincerely appreciate every parent who participated. As a token of gratitude, participating parents will receive a stipend from the Alabama Parent Education Center.

🚀 Pickens County, we are on the move—and we want YOU to be present at our next meeting!
