Diversity & Equity

Our Commitment To Diversity & Equity

“The only thing that should be sorted by color is laundry” 

At Seaton Elementary School, we celebrate diversity by fostering an inclusive environment and nurturing students’ cross-cultural understanding. We believe it is essential for our students to comprehend their identities and the world around them. To this end, Seaton has participated in initiatives and programs such as Black Lives Matter Week at Schools and Welcoming Schools. These efforts ensure that our students and school community have the opportunity to learn about real-life equity issues that affect both their immediate environment and the broader world. Additionally, we have our Multicultural Day to highlight the rich cultures and ethnicities that make up Seaton. Understanding equity and diversity is crucial in helping our students grow into scholars.

Black Lives Matter Week @ Seaton

Every year, Seaton proudly celebrates Black History Month and Black Lives Matter Week at School. The Black Lives Matter at Seaton Committee organizes a variety of activities, including spirit week, assemblies, and other events and initiatives to highlight the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and Black History. Our goal is to celebrate Black Excellence throughout history, covering the past, present, and future. Read more about how Seaton celebrates Black History Month here!

Welcoming School

In collaboration with the Human Rights Campaign, Welcoming Schools is a bias-based bullying prevention program to provide LGBTQ-specific training and resources for elementary teachers. Seaton has been working with WS since SY2020-2021 and earned a Seal of Excellence for our work with this program in the spring of 2023!

Multicultural Day
