At West, we all help to make our school environment safe and welcoming for each student—and we won’t let moments of bigotry pass silently. When someone uses language that is derogatory, stereotypical or expresses prejudicial views, expect our community to interrupt, question, and educate you.

Together, we can and we will Speak Up at School.

“Stop. There’s no place for that (word, action) at West.”

“Why would you think that’s acceptable language and/or behavior?” 

“Do you know the history of that word/phrase?”
