The Student Experience
Tuesday, October 19, 2021
6:30-7:45 pm
Commitment #1: Analyze our culture and current options. Are we developing our community members to have hearts as Jesus did? Examine the perspectives we privilege and the experiences we marginalize by traditions, calendar priorities, and stories. Through thoughtful conversation and understanding, evolve this culture to be one of inclusivity, deeply rooted in respect.
Commitment #7: Strengthen the policies in our Student Handbooks that specifically address hate speech and misconduct related to racism, equity, and inclusion. Communicate clearly how students will be educated on our mission-based community expectations. Review the process we use to investigate and communicate about any violations of our expectations.
Panelists:
- Steph Fontanone, Upper School Dean of Students
- Rebecca Kring, Assistant Head of Middle School for Student Life
