March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month!
People with developmental disabilities may think, learn, or move differently, but they have special strengths and talents, just like everyone else. This month teaches us to be kind, include others, and understand that we all have something valuable to share. Differences make our communities stronger and more interesting.

At Del Mar Union School District, we are committed to nurturing global citizens by recognizing and celebrating the diverse experiences, backgrounds, and values that make our community unique. Like a mirror, we encourage reflection on our own beliefs, values, and experiences to better understand who we are. Like a window, we look outward with curiosity and empathy to learn from the perspectives of our students, families, and communities.
This balance of looking inward and outward strengthens our commitment to building an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. Throughout the year, we invite you to observe heritage, wellness, and awareness months that honor our students and support meaningful conversations both at school and at home.
