Throughout these first few weeks, we have reconnected with WHY we chose education and we have discussed our personal and professional commitments for this school year. As a school, we will keep equity at the center of our work, and ensure students and staff feel that they are welcomed, they belong, and they are valued members of the WSES community.
Please watch and listen to our FlipGrid videos as our teachers and staff have taken a moment to share with you (our students, community, and one another) their commitment around equity, anti-racism, and cultural proficiency.
We know that this important work cannot be done alone as we advocate for our children. It is time to shift the system and respond to our call to action. As stated by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, “To do nothing is to allow for the maintenance of racism.”
