YOUR VOICE COUNTS! Diversity & Inclusion Committee is a JR parent led committee that focuses on creating and promoting an anti-racist, anti- biased and inclusive environment for all our families. Race & Equity Team is a school sponsored committee led by JR staff. It focuses on an anti-racist audit of our curriculum, establishing just practices at school, and building an inclusive environment for our families. These committees have different approaches but work in tandem towards the same goals of creating an anti-racist and a socially just environment.
