We hope you had a wonderful week off that included time spent with family and friends. The DEI committee is grateful for our school that strives to include ALL in Acalanes Community Always. Our goal is to ensure that we are not excluding anyone, so if you feel we have forgotten something or someone, please reach out. We will looking for help in the coming months to celebrate our many cultures and holidays.
Parents, please remind your students that Marge Grow-Eppard, a Miwok/Me-Wuk Tribal Elder of California will be visiting Acalanes on Friday, Dec 1 to talk with students during academy.
The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992 by United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, and to increase awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
