Ability Awareness Week will be between November 15th - 19th. It will be held in the MPR in the morning, and every student at Walt Disney Elementary will be participating.
There will be different stations where the students will get to learn about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), vision impairment and blindness, motor challenges and dyspraxia.
We need parent volunteers to help students at the stations. If you're interested in volunteering, please click HERE for the Sign Up Genius. Please note, volunteer clearance through Be A Mentor is required.

Survival Skills for Parents: Practical Tips for Venturing into a "New Normal"
Wednesday, November 10th at 7:00pm via Zoom
Please join Joe Ianora, MFT, SRVUSD Support Counselor at former Del Amigo and San Ramon Valley HS principal, as he leads an interactive and informative discussion to help parents and caregivers with practical tips for helping students navigate a "new normal".
Joe has been an educational leader for more than 30 years. Joe has been leading schools by fostering learning communities for students, staff and parents. He has been lucky enough to hold almost every position within a school site, from custodian up to principal and everything in-between. He has worked with inner city schools and suburban district from K-16.
His leadership vision centers around supporting students and their learning, staff and their work. He has found that engaging students, staff and parents in an ongoing learning dialogue creates a transformative educational environment. He strives to engage school and community stakeholders in developing clear and shared beliefs within a highly collaborative, student-centered culture. Joe has been deeply committed to helping educators, students and parents understand the transformational power of resiliency and balance in a student’s life. Joe uses this passion to bring his presentations to life.
In addition to creating professional learning communities, Joe has many years of experience helping schools reduce stress for students, foster resiliency and creating a healthy, engaged student. He is the parent of three (nearly) adult children, has been an educational coach, worked with site administrators for the past 10 years as well as converted schools into a place of safety and learning.
