Student FAQs

How will my teachers support a classroom environment that helps me feel safe, welcome, and included? 

You play a critical role in ensuring that you and the other students feel safe, welcome, and included. The District will not tolerate harassing, intimidating conduct, bullying, and the use of slurs. These actions create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment. So what can you do? First, be respectful and kind. Also, if you see something, say something. Talk to any staff member if you experience or witness something unsafe or unwelcome. Read more about Back to School Safe Environments.
