In keeping with our Catholic tradition of universal inclusivity, Thomas Groome reminds us that the word “catholic” comes from the Greek word “Katholos” which means “welcoming all” - just as Jesus did.
Inclusion is one of the foundational tenets of Edmonton Catholic Schools. For decades, inclusive education has been the first choice in programming in the district, as reflected in the following district policy:
“Flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of students is an important feature of inclusive education programming. Specific delivery models for individualized programs may vary from class to class and from school to school depending on the needs of the individual students attending.” (Administrative Procedure 213)
The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The Cobb County School District does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the District encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The Cobb County School District is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.
