Student Equity & Family Engagement

We help ensure that each Evergreen student thrives by fostering belonging, equity, and access. We focus on removing barriers, elevating student voice, and partnering with families so all students—especially those furthest from educational justice—are supported and successful.

We build staff capacity through training on culturally responsive teaching, Courageous Conversations, and anti-bias strategies. Restorative practices guide how we address bias and conflict, ensuring dignity, learning, and accountability. We also provide resources such as Heritage Month celebrations and Equity PD modules.

For families, we lead the Family Engagement Promise partnering with families and schools to build trust and shared responsibility. We partner statewide with the Washington Family Engagement Center, McKinney Vento programs, and language access services to expand access for all.

Student voice is amplified through Students Advocating for Equity (S.A.F.E.), the Student Advisory Council, and Student Board Representatives, ensuring student perspectives shape district decisions.
