What Does It Mean to be an Inclusive School?
PreK-12 Parent Workshop
20 April 7:45-9:15 am
ES MPR
ISB has been working for a number of years to expand our ability to serve students with diverse learning needs. How might this impact your child and their learning? How can you support your child in understanding and appreciating the diversity that s/he encounters at school and in the wider community?
Join us to explore these questions and learn practical skills in this parent workshop.
