Inclusion for All
PAC is excited to share new tools to help families and schools strengthen Inclusion for All:
-
Inclusive Practices Spreadsheet – This is a living, interactive document where parents can contribute real examples of inclusivity happening across our district. From classroom strategies to schoolwide traditions, your input will help us build a library of ideas that all schools can learn from.
-
Inclusive Events Tip Sheet – Thanks to Meadow Brook Elementary, we now have a practical guide with tips for making PTA and school events more inclusive and welcoming to all families.
We invite you to explore these resources, share your own experiences, and help us grow this collection of best practices. Together, we can make sure every student, and family feels seen, valued, and included.
All Upcoming Meetings (2025/2026 School Year):
January 13th: Hugger Elementary
February 10th: West Middle School
March 10th: University Hills Elementary
