"How Can I Support Diversity and Inclusion Efforts?"
- Have a discussion: Most parents report feeling comfortable having these conversations...they just don't have them. Start the conversation with your family.
- Build an awareness of implicit bias:
- Get to know our school: Ask your child, your child's teacher, our principal, and other parents about how Roosevelt supports diversity and inclusion.
