Dear families,
On this International Day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, we are only too recently reminded that discrimination does still exist in our communities. We are also reminded of how strong and passionate the majority of people in our communities are about ending homophobia and other forms of needless discrimination. As a school district of 11,300 students and 2,000 staff strong, we stand up to any kind of discrimination and hatred against others. There is no place for homophobia, transphobia, biphobia and racism in our classrooms, our schools, our homes or our communities.
SD62 strives to offer accepting and caring schools, where all students feel they belong. We continue to work hard to educate our youth so that they can develop as educated citizens and global learners with open minds and hearts who will one day eradicate this and other types of hatred in our world. SD62 stands strong.
Sincerely,
Ravi Parmar
