CNUSD Board Policy: Equity in Education
Hello Families!
In 2020 Prado View Elementary created an Equity Focus Group where staff met monthtly to collectively talk about the work we have been doing for years and align it with CNUSD's goals so that we could build a framework within our Multi-Tier System of Supports.
While we recognized that it was time we have crucial conversations about implicit biases and dive deeper into who we are as educators, our work with equity has been ongoing for years.
It is now where we will begin to intentionally involve the voices of our students and families in order to better serve the diverse population of our school community we love.
Our work will never be done. We recognize it begins with each one of us by meeting at the table to learn, grow and do the work. We are always better together as a team. We are team Prado View and we look forward to involving our students and families as we champion equity in the years to come!
Sincerely,
Team Prado View
Our students represent over 19 beautifully, spoken languages!
We Celebrate and Honor You!
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI), celebrated in May, recognizes the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.
There are about 54 million Hispanics and Latinos in the United States. That's a lot of people to celebrate! Across the country, Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated with festivals and community events recognizing the contributions of Hispanics and Latinos in the United States. PBS Learning
"Native American Heritage Month has evolved from its beginnings as a week-long celebration in 1986, when President Reagan proclaimed the week of November 23-30, 1986 as "American Indian Week." Every President since 1995 has issued annual proclamations designating the month of November as the time to celebrate the culture, accomplishments, and contributions of people who were the first inhabitants of the United States.
Through dance, family traditions, and music, these stories show the diversity and long history of Indigenous people across the United States. Celebrate the history, culture, and traditions of American Indians and Alaska Natives in a special collection of films, short stories, and resources from Public Television." -pbs.org
