Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

 

OUR COMMITMENT TO DEIB

At the Parkside School, we have an active commitment to ensuring that we create an environment where all members feel an authentic and equal sense of belonging. Through our DEIB initiative, we hope to foster a community that is inclusive for all and where we come together to celebrate both differences and commonalities. Additionally, we strive to implement and develop an inclusive curriculum where all students can see themselves represented. We believe the importance of this work is integral to cultivating and sustaining a safe environment that helps individuals feel empowered, accepted, and respected.
