WINDING RIVER CONSOLIDATED believes in the INCLUSIVE EDUCATION POLICY
The Inclusive Education Policy requires that principals and teachers ensure that every student sees themselves reflected throughout their schools, learning resources, and within their learning experiences.
Creating inclusive school environments is in line with CCRCE’s overall efforts to support the wellbeing of all students to be their best and truest selves. These values are described in the CCRCE’s System Improvement plan, which states “Schools will be safe, welcoming, inclusive and culturally responsive environments where each student feels a sense of belonging and engages in habits that promote well-being.
