Other Details

Parental Guidance
We will use external resources in this class. These external resources do not require an account and will be accessed via a link I provide. In our classroom, we are committed to fostering an environment that values open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and respectful communication. We recognize that sensitive topics can evoke strong emotions, and we are dedicated to creating a space where everyone feels heard, supported, and safe. If a highly emotional expression arises, the teacher will guide the discussion to ensure that the conversation remains respectful and focused on the topic. While open dialogue is encouraged, any expression that promotes hate, discrimination, or harm to others will not be tolerated.
