Belonging
In LSR7 we believe all students deserve a school experience enriched by a deep sense of dignity and belonging.
All LSR7 efforts, structures, resources and people align around a clear, district-wide vision of equitable learning and development and a shared understanding of why and how this drives everyone's work.
Our district's Equity Policy reflects our expectations to provide an equitable education for every student and our LSR7 Beliefs and Commitments outline our vision.
