All students participate in conversations and activities in their classrooms that help
students develop the skills they need to navigate social situations and keep themselves
and others safe. In our K-5 classrooms, we use the
Responsive Classroom Curriculum to support this work. In grades 6-8 we use an advisory structure from the
Developmental Designs model.
The PTO also funds for
Understanding Our Differences Program, which is a model, interactive disability
awareness curriculum that teaches children to “see the person and not the disability.” The curriculum covers Blindness and Low Vision, Deafness and Hard of Hearing, Autism, Physical Disabilities, Intellectual
Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, and Chronic Medical Conditions such as Allergic Conditions, Asthma,
Diabetes, and Epilepsy.
