Diversity, Equity, Inclusion + Belonging Committee

Our mission is to promote a culture within our school community that embraces diversity by expanding our children’s perception towards unity for others and integrity for themselves. We strive to provide meaningful family engagement and ensure all families and children feel welcome and represented within our school community.
