Alliance for Creating Trust (ACT) Protocol
This protocol was designed out of a need for students to feel and know with certainty that any complaints reported regarding their physical and social-emotional well-being are being addressed swiftly, supported by other stakeholders within the community, and regarded with care.

Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate Black achievement, explore Black histories, and honor the painful truths and triumphs that Black people across the diaspora have endured. Celebrations and opportunities for learning will occur throughout the school this month, but we encourage families to keep the conversation going in their homes.
