Equity Climate Agreement

  • This year, to help our students learn to the best of their ability and feel good about themselves, the Summer Learning Design Team created an Equity Climate Agreement that is to be read, understood, and signed by all staff, parents/guardians, and students.

    An equitable school climate responds to a wide range of cultural norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, and leadership practices. With this agreement, we want to help students learn to the best of their ability and feel good about themselves. It includes specific actions by which the school staff, families, and students will collectively work to help students achieve high academic and behavioral standards.  This will bring everyone in our school community closer and strengthen our partnerships, so our students can soar.

    We affirm our strong commitment to ensuring that every student has equitable access to opportunities and support necessary for realizing their full academic and personal potential. Together, let us embark on a journey of equity, kindness, inclusivity, and excellence in summer learning.
