Respect For All Week
Dear Parents/Guardians:
The NYC Department of Education has designated February 11-15 as Respect For All Week in all NYC public schools. During this week, schools will have opportunities to highlight and build upon ongoing diversity programs and curriculum-based instruction. Schools will also have opportunities to embark upon new initiatives that promote respect for diversity and engage students in meaningful lessons and/or other activities that focus on preventing bias-based harassment, intimidation and/or bullying.
For the week of February 11th, we have coordinated the following activities:
• 2/11 – School Safety Committee – Mid-year Meeting/Reflection;
