District News
All six WSD schools received official No Place for Hate Designations for the 2023-2024 school year. Building principals and No Place for Hate coordinators collaborated on projects that best exemplified the intentional work happening at each building to ensure all students and staff experience safety, belonging, and inclusion and that efforts are starting, continuing, and/or being reimagined to cultivate a culture of dignity, compassion, empathy, respect, and understanding. During the 2024-2025 school year, administrators, students, staff, and families will play a key role in actualizing the district’s No Place for Hate goals, plans and activities.
Last school year, No Place for Hate’s implementation across schools started with staff awareness, the selection of No Place for Hate coordinators, and the introduction of No Place for Hate to students through instructional lessons focused on respect, empathy, kindness, acceptance, diversity, and inclusion.
Staff and students received invitations to serve as leaders in designing and cultivating meaningful opportunities and learning experiences centered on the district’s No Place for Hate efforts. Additionally, schools intentionally employed and continue to leverage existing student groups, literature, meetings, and assemblies focused on anti-bullying.
