Inclusive Schools Week--The Time for Inclusion is Now!

Inclusive Schools Week is celebrated across the country the week of December 7th.  The goals of Inclusive Schools Week are to:

  • Celebrate the progress of schools in educating an increasingly diverse student population
  • Acknowledge the hard work and commitment of schools, families and communities in creating inclusive opportunities for all children regardless of disability, gender, ethnicity, language, health status, etc.
  • Encourage reflection on how culture, policies and practices in schools can promote inclusive education
  • Promote action to increase the capacity of schools and communities to meet the needs of all learners.

According to Niche.com, Deep Run ranks #12 out of 916 elementary schools in Maryland for having the most diverse student population.  We are very proud of our diverse community, and we believe our school experience is richer for students, staff, and families as we learn and grow with each other. Throughout next week, our students will engage in learning experiences that recognize, celebrate, and teach about the strength that comes from our diversity and our desire for inclusion.  These experiences support our motto this year:  We are One at Deep Run!
