Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

MSE Diversity Statement

MSE believes that for its graduates to become informed, responsible thinkers and citizens, they must have an education that will allow them to develop: respect for differing viewpoints, the ability to thoroughly gather evidence to support ideas, the capacity to consider diverse perspectives, the potential to reconsider one's attitude, the ability to explore diverse perspectives, cultures, and world views. MSE understands the importance of students studying their ethical responsibilities to themselves and others. It will create learning environments in which all students reach for excellence in using their talents, take responsibility for the  integrity and quality of their work, and engage in meaningful practices. 

When welcoming families and Community partners into our school, MSE provides an environment of acceptance that supports and respects gender, culture, language, ethnicity and family composition. MSE will partner with any adult within the family to support the growth of our children and will remain flexible to accommodate those families' needs. MSE will support every effort to ensure that communication between home and school is clear and consistent and   always respects that the parent is the child's first teacher.

MSE will not deny program admission to any child, nor exclude any enrolled child from program participation for a long-term period, solely based on their health care needs or medication requirements unless keeping the child in care poses a significant risk to the health or safety of the child or anyone in contact with the child. The risk cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level through reasonable modifications in the grantee or delegate agency's policies, practices, or procedures or by providing appropriate auxiliary aids which would enable the child to participate without fundamentally altering the nature of the program.
