Hello Eagle families,

I attended a workshop this week hosted by Dr. Vincent Pompei. The topic was how to support students in our LGBTQ community. It was informative and thought provoking. He shared some disturbing statistics from California LGBTQ students:

• only 21% of are out to their parents
• 29% are taunted or mocked by family members
• only 32% say they can be themselves at school
• only 5% are open about their orientation to all of their teachers
• 78% report they have felt depressed in the past week
• only 32% always feel safe in the classroom

Rancho Vista takes great pride in being inclusive and appreciative of ALL students. We strive to create a culture where every student feels welcomed and valued. I encourage all interested students in joining the Pride Club which began this year.

Think different. Be different.
