Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (E-D-I)
The River Edge Public School District is committed to promoting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (E-D-I). As per Chapter 32 (C.18A:35-4.36a), beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, our District will incorporate instruction on diversity and inclusion in an appropriate place in the curriculum of students in grades kindergarten through 6 as part of the District’s implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
In our district, we have always been committed to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment for learning. We seek to ensure that all components of school life, including curriculum and support for families, students, and staff, reflect our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
We recognize that we currently live in an ever-changing world, and that our understanding of, and support for, equity, diversity, and inclusion must grow and evolve. In River Edge, we bring students, staff, and families of different backgrounds and experiences together to meaningfully engage in the life of the school community. Learning in our schools involves listening to and working with others, considering and embracing different points of view, and understanding multiple perspectives.
