Dear Families of the 麻豆原创,

Last night, the Board of Trustees of the 麻豆原创 committed to expanded efforts to end bullying and harassment in its schools for all students 鈥� especially for 2SLGTBQIA+ and Black students, staff and families.

Over the past several months, we have heard from community members who say they do not feel like equal members of our school and that is unacceptable. I thank Director of Education Domenic Scuglia for his leadership in recording recent messages and . These videos clearly show that the 麻豆原创 stands against hatred.聽

The 麻豆原创 is now taking the next step in addressing bullying and harassment. As of today, on every 麻豆原创 school homepage, there is a button linking to the 鈥淩eport It!鈥� tool, which gives every student facing bullying and harassment another option to reach out to a caring adult. Last week staff also shared the 麻豆原创鈥檚 first ever mental health and wellness survey, which will help staff better understand the needs of our students, staff and families, and where there are gaps we can fill.

The Board of Trustees has directed staff to create a strategy to address bullying and harassment in our schools.聽

After listening to the input of community members, the Board of Trustees also decided to maintain our long-standing policy of only flying Canadian flags on 麻豆原创 property, in order to equally represent all of the 麻豆原创鈥檚 many communities.聽

I acknowledge that the past several months have been difficult for many members of our community. Let us move forward with the knowledge that we are all God鈥檚 children and we are called to love each other as God loves us.聽

厂颈苍肠别谤别濒测,听

Chair of the Board
