Support Distinctive Schools | Closing out 2021

As we reflect on the year – we acknowledge that our families and communities need access to resources, and our culture-forward, welcoming schools. We have been responding in every way that we can aligned to our 3 priorities and beyond this year. As we close out 2021, we don’t yet know what the future holds. What we do know is that we want to be ready to help every child, family, and staff member that comes to us for help. Our vision ensures that each Distinctive Schools student thrives in college, career and life. Please consider making a donation to support Distinctive Schools, as we continue to prioritize Learning Acceleration, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, and Mental Health & Wellness.

Innovate to Educate.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion
We are committed to creating a culture of action and actively building anti-racist schools designing structures to identify, oppose, and dismantle racism.
  • Additional funding will help us cover the costs of professional learning and supports through partnerships that provide intentional learning opportunities for all teachers, staff, students, and families.

Learning Acceleration
Distinctive Schools teachers and leaders will ready students for new learning rather than focus on standards students have failed to master.
  • Money donated would help fund tutoring, mentoring programs, and Distinctive Schools Summer Programming

Mental Health & Wellness
Distinctive Schools will leverage partnerships to support trauma informed practice and provide training and resources to support equity and and response to local and national tragedies and events.
WIth additional funding we hope to:
  • Leverage local partnerships to support trauma-informed practices, restorative justice, and social-emotional development
  • Provide professional development in trauma informed practice
  • Resources to support further focus on the development of Sense of Belonging for students and families in our community​
