As we continue to promote a more inclusive and welcoming school environment for all of our scholars, we also want to share some resources with our families and parents. The information below, seeks to support families/parents with:

  • Creating a safe space to discuss concerns such as: how to support a friend who is realizing he/she is gay, how to respond to direct harassment or joking remarks about sexual orientation, and where to get help if a scholar or a friend needs it.

  • Educating and debunking stereotypes about LGBTQ individuals and issues.

  • Empowering young people and families to become leaders and role models within their school community!
