Do you have questions about how APS is addressing implicit bias in our schools and classrooms? Want to learn more about how our school system is working to create and sustain an inclusive learning environment?

Join the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion on Tuesday, February 27th for a 90-minute interactive conversation to provide participants with definitions of various terms and provide families and caregivers with an understanding of ongoing efforts in the community. There will be time allocated at the end of the evening, with our guest speakers, for Discovery specific questions related to this topic.

This event will take place in the Dining Commons from 6:00-7:30pm. Finger food will be served.
