Pride Month
The Calgary Board of Education strives to ensure that all our schools are safe and caring places for all students and staff. As a public school system, we welcome and celebrate students from diverse backgrounds, perspectives and beliefs.
At Dr E. W. Coffin School, we have honoured and recognized our unique school community throughout the school year with events such as [Languages spoken board, Orange Shirt Day, Pink Shirt Day, etc]. June is Pride Month Internationally, a time to recognize the pursuit of equality and rights for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals. The CBE reaffirms its commitment to creating safe and caring learning and work environments for 2SLGBTQ+ students and staff. At Dr E. W. Coffin School, we recognize this occasion and support all our students and families. Diversity and inclusion are important to a healthy school culture and are also supported by the Education Act.
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Chris Hooper, Principal
