Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

CIRCLES Vision

• To develop meaningful community connections with their fellow stakeholders and neighbors. 

• To create a standard of consideration that allows for inclusion and equality in treatment of all people despite physical abilities, cultural, and/or socioeconomic differences. 

• To promote restorative relationships when problems arise and to eliminate stereotypical thinking. 

• To develop a cultural awareness for the practices, traditions and values of those around them.

• To offer learning opportunities to aide in those efforts.

• To provide students the emotional support to share and be heard. 

• To ensure greater student success with others now and in the future. 

• To create a kinder learning environment which can lead to an atmosphere of trust for our children. 

We believe the positive notion that people are both alike and different and if we make more opportunities for conversation and learning about those factors a regular part the school experience, our children will become more encouraging of others and more confident and well-rounded individuals.
