It would be great if Grace had parent advisories, not by grade, across grades, so one per set of parents. We could meet regularly with a Grace facilitator and discuss these issues and others that are more psycho-social-emotional rather than educational per se.

More than statistics about Grace and the anti-racism initiatives, there should be examples provided to new parents as well as prospective parents of how the school is both broadening its scope but narrowing it's focus in specific areas.  Stories would be a good way to add to this.

Our breakout group expressed support for the idea of parent/family onboarding.  For me, I thought about a workshop that my colleagues and I attended for work, Undoing Racism, which is led by the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond. https://www.pisab.org/  The workshop was great because while it teaches based on historical facts, the experiences of those participating in the workshop are also useful in learning about each other and the need for anti-racist efforts.
