Culture of Belonging Statement

In Provo City School District, we prioritize the well-being and success of every member of our community, including employees, students, parents, families, and residents. Embracing the rich diversity within our district, we recognize it as a source of strength. The intentional creation of supportive educational and social experiences for all is built on these premises:

• We firmly believe in the potential of every student to learn, and we understand that creating an environment conducive to learning is a shared responsibility among students, staff, teachers, administrators, and parents/guardians. This involves fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and support.
• We welcome collaboration and teamwork from all members of our community, valuing their varying perspectives and experiences.
• Our approach prioritizes equitable distribution of resources, including funding, programs, policies, initiatives, facilities, and supports, to address the varied needs of students and families. This ensures equitable access to high-quality education and extracurricular opportunities for all students.

Above all, Provo City School District is committed to providing a supportive, safe, and understanding environment. As we prepare students to contribute positively to our vibrant community, we strive to foster a culture where every individual feels safe, valued, and a sense of belonging within our educational spaces.
