How Welcoming is Our School?
Dear [Insert Name],
Research tells us that when teachers, families and communities work together, children do better. As part of our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, we would like to invite you to participate on a Welcoming Schools Walkthrough Team at [School Name]. Your participation is essential in helping to make our school a place where every student, staff member, and family feels a sense of belonging. We need you!
The Welcoming Schools Walkthrough will help us identify strengths and notice aspects of our school that could be more inviting. A diverse group of parents, teachers, staff, and community members will provide feedback on the physical environment, communication methods, school culture and climate and more.
We believe that your perspective is crucial to our goal of fostering a school culture where everyone feels valued and included. By working together, we can continue to enhance the experiences of all students and families. This process will result in specific goals to improve family and community engagement.
