FPMS CORE VALUES:
We value building strong partnerships with families and creating a supportive learning community where diversity and differences are respected, and students are empowered to share their voice, become self-advocates and effective communicators
We value student centered, social learning that builds critical thinking, creative problem solving, practical application of skills, and effective use of technology in support of student ownership
We believe in challenging all learners by providing engaging, varied, and appropriate standards-aligned curricula, instruction, and assessment
We believe that students must be actively engaged for effective learning to take place by asking questions, participating in group discussions and working with peers to analyze and solve problems
Commitment to Equity and Anti-Racism
· Forest Park Middle School is committed to high quality instruction in an inclusive learning environment. We honor the uniqueness of each individual and embrace diverse backgrounds, values, and points of view to build a strong, inclusive community and to prepare students for lives in a multicultural society.
· We are committed to providing every student an equal opportunity to participate and thrive in the academic and co-curricular programs.
· We believe in and are actively working to examine bias and to dismantle racist and inequitable practices and policies that support white supremacy, white privilege, and the oppression of marginalized groups.
To help guide this work, Forest Park has created an Equity Leaders PLC and has two teachers who are Chief Equity Influencers. Book clubs were held to begin to facilitate our discussion about systemic racism as a staff, reflect on unconscious bias and the ways it plays out in our classrooms and hallways. This work is central to our planning both this year and next year to create a school and culture that is equitable for all students and staff.
