Honoring the multiple perspectives that exist in our increasingly diverse communities, EIS seeks to engage in ongoing conversations in education and collectively we find many ways to facilitate community-based participation in the coconstruction of the educational experience in our schools; parent-school partnerships are foundational to our schools. At EIS, we strive to define and uphold the following definitions: Diversity: Welcoming all the many dimensions of diversity in your school community (race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, and more) so that multiple identities are represented. Equity: The fair treatment of all people to ensure full participation and access to opportunities, growth, and learning. Inclusion: Ensuring that all employees feel safe at work and that each person is heard, supported, and respected for the unique background, experience, ideas, and perspectives they bring. Belonging: The experience of all community members being seen, known, and valued by their peers, colleagues, and leaders, so that they feel comfortable bringing their whole self to their work, and able to do their best work. Accessibility: The state of having programs, services, and environments that allow all individuals to participate fully in our school community without encountering barriers. To review specific policies, please log into the Parent Portal (under development) on our website, or arrange a meeting with the Board Chair or Principal.
