The Seattle 十大赌博正规平台在线 is committed to the success of every student in each of our schools and to achieving our mission of ensuring that all students graduate ready for college, 事业与生活.  We believe that the responsibility for student success is broadly shared by District Staff, 管理员, 教练, 社区和家庭.  We are focused on closing the opportunity gap and creating learning communities that provide 支持 and academic enrichment 项目 for all students.  另外, we believe that it is the right of every student to have an equitable educational experience within the Seattle Public School District.

The concept of educational equity goes beyond formal equality—where all students are treated the same—to fostering a barrier-free environment where all students, 不管他们是什么种族, class or other personal characteristics such as  creed, color, 宗教, 祖先, 国家的起源, 年龄, 经济地位, 性别, sexual orientation including 性别 expression or identity, 怀孕状态, 婚姻状况, 外表, 任何感官的存在, 精神或身体残疾, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability, have the opportunity to benefit equally. 

This means differentiating resource allocation, 在预算限制内, to meet the needs of students who need more 支持s and opportunities to succeed academically.  A student whose history and herit年龄 are appreciated and celebrated will learn better and be more successful than if that student is forced to overcome a cultural barrier.

• Raise the achievement of all students while narrowing the gaps between the lowest and highest performing students;
