Unified Champion Schools

Survey Says...

Thank you in advance for completing this important survey! Please let us know what you have done throughout the school year in the areas of Unified Sports, Inclusive Leadership and Whole School Engagement.

Reminder - at least one activity must be completed in each area, to be considered a Unified Champion School for the 2021-22 school year. We understand this has been another challenging year – if you only were able to complete 1 or 2 of the 3 components, that’s ok. If you have any questions, please reach out. If you are responsible for more than one school, please complete a separate form for each Unified Champion School.

Please complete by June 24th
