Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)

Important Dates This Month:
Aug 25: First General DEIB Committee meeting
Aug 26: Women’s Equality Day
 
The Acalanes campus is one of inclusivity and a space where all are welcome. The DEIB committee and others are on a mission to have students feel welcome as we start the new school year. To do this we suggest you have your student say hello to three students they have never met before. How do you believe the students would feel meeting new peers? What sense of belonging would you feel if someone who has never spoken to you before welcomed you as you walked into work one morning? Talk to your students about this idea of them saying “hello” to three new people and share with us their experience with this idea. Or better yet, show your student by example and say “hello” to three new parents at your next Acalanes event.  Share your experience with us on social media! 

Womens Equality Day is celebrated in the United States on Aug 26 to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.
 
Our first meeting is coming up soon. If you would like to be a part of this group, please send us an email at diversityandinclusion@acalanesparentsclub.com.
