School Superintendent.....
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are all heartbroken by the tragedy of eleven lives taken at The Tree of Life Congregation, a Jewish synagogue, in Pittsburgh over the weekend, which was motivated by hate. These murders happened as we see increased hate expressed toward people of color, immigrants, and refugees.
The Arlington Public Schools remains committed to providing an environment where all students regardless of abilities, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or immigration status are respected and supported in being their best selves and contributing members of our community. Our vision for all students is that they are aware of the role bias and prejudice play in our society. A focus in our curriculum is supporting students so that they learn to be empathetic, responsible and active members of the community. Hate has no place in our schools or society.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Bodie, Ed.D.
