I-CONNECT – RACE AND STUDENT BELONGING

We will examine the issue of “Race and Student Belonging at BHS” at the next PTSA I-Connect meeting on Tuesday, March 19, 8:15-9:45 a.m. in the library. Our guest speaker will be Shomari Jones, Director of Equity and Strategic Engagement for the Bellevue School District (BSD). All current Bellevue High School parents and caregivers are invited.

Feeling a sense of belonging is essential for physical, mental, and emotional health. What are the barriers students face to feeling accepted, and how does race play a part? What does data from a recent BSD student survey tell us? What role and responsibility should parents share in fostering a sense of belonging for all students? We will ask Mr. Jones these questions and more. Also participating in the discussion will be Lorenzo McKinney, Graduation Success Coach at BHS.



I-Connect is a parent engagement program sponsored by PTSA.
