Westland’s Diversity Mission Statement
Together as a community, Westland School is committed to:
Acknowledge, respect, and honor each community member’s full identity. Our differences may include but are not limited to:
Integrate and promote diversity, equity, and inclusivity in our curriculum, practices, policy, school culture, and institutional identity.
Contribute actively to the welfare of our diverse community, assuring that all community members know that they belong.
Provide our children, families, faculty, and administration with opportunities, safe spaces, and support to reaffirm and explore our individual and group identities so that we may all thrive.
Build each member’s cultural literacy and the skills to recognize oppression, unfairness, and privilege that exists on all levels: the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural.
Empower each member with the confidence, voice, and agency to speak out against oppression and move our community ever towards equity and inclusivity.
