You deserve to be treated fairly, appreciated, validated, and accepted. Therefore, the district strives to maintain a safe, positive learning environment for all students that is free of harassment, discrimination, and race-based speech. These harmful behaviors are inconsistent with the educational and programmatic goals of the district and they are prohibited on school grounds, at school-sponsored activities, and on any district-sponsored transportation to or from a school entity or school-sponsored activity.
If you have experienced or witnessed behaviors not reflective of our district's character traits of Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence (PRIDE), we urge you to use the following available resources to submit a formal report.
