World Autism Awareness Day: April 2
Our school is proud to celebrate Autism Awareness & Acceptance Week. A time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the many ways our students think, learn, and shine. This week focuses on building understanding, kindness, and a strong sense of belonging for all learners.
Why This Matters
Autism Awareness & Acceptance Week helps our school community:
Build empathy and understanding of neurodiversity
Celebrate the strengths, creativity, and individuality of autistic students
Encourage inclusion, respect, and kindness
Create a school culture where every child feels seen and valued
April is recognized internationally as Autism Acceptance Month, with World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, established by the United Nations. During this time, communities around the world come together to promote acceptance, inclusion, and support for autistic individuals and their families.
What’s Happening at School
Wear Blue Day — April 2
Students and staff are invited to wear blue to show support, understanding, and acceptance. We’ll also create a “Blue Kindness Chain” to highlight messages of inclusion and friendship.
iSET Autism Awareness Art Wall
Families are invited to visit a collaborative art display featuring:
-
A school-wide mural made of student-decorated puzzle pieces with messages of acceptance
-
A student spotlight wall titled “Together, We Belong”, showcasing iSET student artwork
Visit the art wall anytime between March 23–29.
Classroom Learning
Throughout the week, classrooms may explore:
Read-alouds about neurodiversity
Gentle discussions about kindness, differences, and inclusion
Age-appropriate learning about autism and how people experience the world in different ways
How Families Can Join Us

Talk with your child about acceptance and celebrating differences
Visit the art wall with your student
Explore books and resources about autism and neurodiversity together
Together, We Belong
Autism Awareness & Acceptance Week is about more than learning — it’s about creating a school where every mind matters. Thank you for partnering with us to build a compassionate, inclusive community where all children feel welcome, valued, and supported.
Let’s celebrate diversity, practice kindness, and learn together.
