Community and Belonging

Alta Vista School is committed to nurturing an inclusive community that celebrates the full spectrum of our multifaceted identities.
We recognize that sustaining such a community requires intentional and ongoing reflection—both personal and institutional—to ensure a safe and supportive environment for students, faculty, and families. Our goal is for all community members to become active agents of positive change in our evolving world.

The Parent and Family Group Inclusion and Belonging Committee is composed of AVS parent volunteers who collaborate with administrators and faculty to foster a welcoming environment and support school-wide equity and belonging initiatives. Working alongside room parents, our Director of Equity and Community, faculty and staff, and Senior Administration, the committee provides guidance on inclusive practices and helps facilitate constructive conversations when conflicts arise.

The Inclusion and Belonging Committee also organizes educational workshops and discussions on equity and social justice topics, and supports faculty and families in celebrating cultural traditions throughout the school year.
