As an organization, we are committed to ensuring our schools are safe and caring places for every student and staff member. As a public school system, we welcome every learner and value the diverse backgrounds, perspectives and lived experiences that make up our school communities.

 As a system, we recognize many important dates in June, including the beginning of Pride Season, and many others as outlined on our dates of significance calendar. We affirm the importance of ensuring 2SLGBTQ+ students and staff have learning and work environments that are welcoming, caring, respectful and safe.

Our schools work intentionally to promote belonging by preventing discrimination and recognizing and removing barriers to participation and learning. At the heart of this work is creating learning environments where our students and staff feel respected, supported and able to be themselves.

When students feel safe and valued for who they are, they are better able to learn, grow, and thrive. Building school communities where everyone feels a sense of connection and belonging is shared work. We are grateful to the families, students and staff whose partnership helps our communities flourish.
