JEDI at Muddy Creek

WHAT is JEDI? 

 JEDI, is an acronym which stands for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. This committee was formed at MCCS to serve as an avenue for advocacy for students, staff, and families. 

WHY is JEDI at MCCS? 

School is designed to be a safe place, where everyone feels like they belong. Beyond this, we believe fostering understanding and empathy not only improves the learning experience for students but lays the foundation for a more connected, caring community. 

HOW is JEDI being implemented at MCCS?

JEDI meets monthly to provide resources and services by way of our 3 Action Pillars:

• Providing monthly themed resources to staff that support cultural awareness and celebration of [varied identities]
• Hosting PLC for staff to increase self-awareness/understanding of the importance of JEDI principles and how to put them into practice with peers and students.
• Reviewing committee for community concerns related to JEDI. Reviewing & creating systems with JEDI equity lens

Our JEDI Commitment: 

Our mission centers around structuring systems that support fairness and equal opportunity. We seek for EVERYONE who walks through the doors of MCCS to feel Seen, Safe, and Supported.

We do this by working to cultivate a safe space for all; meeting people where they are, with the tools and compassion to support their individual needs. We intend to model the strength and value of having the courage to stand up for others and what is right. 

We strive to create an environment at Muddy Creek where everyone feels free to express their identities, and be met with celebration of their unique gifts. 

We believe it is imperative to CELEBRATE and honor the things that shape the unique lens through which we view the world, including but not limited to: Culture, Ethnicity, Race, Religion, Gender Identity, Sexuality, Social Class, Ability, Ideas, and many more.

We recognize the inherent value each of us brings to this community. Every experience we have as individuals endows us with the unique gift of perspective – ultimately, we all have something to teach one another along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: JEDI is a work in progress! We appreciate your grace as we ourselves grow,learn, and change as needed to continue maintaining our outlined principles and objectives.
