Dear students and families,

In light of recent tragic events going on in the news, we wanted to reach out to our students and families to provide resources and support. Racism has affected people in America since before the country's foundation, and it continues to affect us today. While this may be different for each of us, racism impacts marginalized communities of color in disproportionate ways.

We recognize that these issues affect us all and greatly affects the community we serve and care about. We hope these links can provide you with useful resources and ways to start conversations. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you need anything further.
