DEI Events Page
Throughout the school year, the DEI committee will organize and sponsor a variety of activities to provide opportunities to learn about different cultures, heritages, traditions, and experiences. We aim to create intentional spaces for discussion whether you are at a starting point or already deep in your journey of pursuing social equity engagement. Our programs are designed to support continued learning, acceptance, and understanding, and reduce implicit bias, prejudice, and misunderstanding within Highlands Elementary.
Upcoming Events
There are a few DEI events tentatively set for this school year specifically curated to engage elementary school communities. We'd like to further tailor our programs to serve the needs of our unique community at Highlands. Please fill out this survey to share areas that you would like to see our DEI committee focus on.
