Whole School Engagement

Creating a School Where Everyone Belongs

Whole School Engagement brings entire school communities together to promote inclusion, acceptance, and respect for all students.

These activities provide opportunities for students, educators, and families to participate in experiences that celebrate differences and foster meaningful connections. From inclusion campaigns and awareness events to school assemblies, spirit weeks, UCS sports competitions, Lunch Mates programs, and community service projects, Whole School Engagement helps make inclusion visible throughout the entire school.

When schools engage all students in the Unified movement, inclusion becomes more than a program, it becomes part of the school's culture.
