As an educational institution, our role is to teach and empower. To that end, here are more resources offered to help families continue important discussions of recent events, racism, and privilege at home. The following are resources shared by Shoreline and Seattle Public Schools. We stand in solidarity with other schools as we work to disrupt and fix racist systems. We commit to this work to support students of color, black students in particular, and to help all our students become anti-racist.
