Belonging

At Providence Day, belonging is an outcome of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We commit and aspire to have each member of our community experience and feel a sense of belonging, meaning each individual is seen, heard, valued, and affirmed in all of their full selves, thus making them feel connected to the greater PD community.

HIGHLIGHTS

restorative justice practices, education, and accountability.

• Expanded the Black Families Network and Hispanic Families Network to bring communities together.
