Embracing Diversity at Roosevelt IB Middle School: A Year of Cultural Competence

At Roosevelt IB Middle School, we define diversity as an integration of various cultures, languages, and beliefs. With a student body of 908, we proudly represent multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Mandarin, among others. Our commitment to diversity means embracing all students, including those from different cultural backgrounds, disabilities, and LGBTQ identities. Throughout this school year, we have prioritized initiatives like Anti-Bullying Week, a Diversity Survey, and workshops aimed at fostering a culturally competent environment for students and parents alike.
