Partners for Inclusive Education is a safe place where families, staff, and community partners can connect to improve support for learners with diverse abilities. We strive for open communication about inclusive education. This effort requires education, teamwork, and empathy to maximize wrap-around supports and celebrate the differences that make our children individuals.
The Partners for Inclusive Education meetings are throughout the school year. Meetings are currently being held by Zoom and the log-in information for meetings can be obtained from the Inclusive Education Services Office at 250-470-3267.
