This National Accessibility Week, we took time to highlight the many ways our schools can become more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all students—regardless of ability.

Throughout the week, we shared:

• Tips for supporting students with hearing differences, from improving classroom acoustics to using captions in virtual meetings.

Located in the countryside, Aberdeen Elementary School is more than just a place of learning—it's a thriving, supportive community where everyone plays a role in fostering our school motto of "You Matter, You Belong". From the moment students step onto school grounds to the time they leave at the end of the day, the sense of belonging is evident in every interaction. 

Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences are happening on Wednesday, Feb. 19 and Thursday, Feb. 20. Please schedule an appointment with your student's teacher here: https://aberdeen.schoolappointments.com/

To accommodate these conferences, school will be dismissed at noon on both days. School buses will be running 2.5 hours earlier than usual on those days. Please arrange alternative transportation for your student to get home that day if necessary.
