Inclusion Committee
Reflections
The arts—and the National PTA Reflections program—support student success and serve as a valuable tool for building strong partnerships in your school community. Celebrate arts learning in your school community with Reflections.
During the 2020 - 21 school year, hundreds of thousands of students will reflect on a common theme "I Matter Because" and create original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Students may enter the national awards program through their school's PTA.
Legislative Committee
Chair: Marci Tarvin
The Inclusion Committee provides an exciting venue for parents and the school district to work together, share information and resources, and create an on-going dialogue about issues relating to students with learning differences and disabilities. The committee is not a separate special education entity (Special Education Parent Advisory Council - SEPAC), but rather a committee of Fern Bluff’s PTA. The goal is to address the needs of a broad range of students, not just those with an Individual Education Plan (IEP), and to increase acceptance and inclusion of students with learning differences in our school community.
Chair: Katy Kyrish
