Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Social Justice

Dear Kehillah,

I hope that you & your family are as well as can be in these difficult times. We are grateful to have you as part of Kehillah and want you to know that we continually strive to make our community as healthy as possible. As such, we are engaging with the National Association of Independent Schools to use their Assessment of Inclusivity and Multiculturalism to gauge and improve the inclusiveness of our school community for all members so that we can create a place where everyone feels like they truly count, like they truly belong.

A component of that process is an anonymous survey, designed and tested by the NAIS, and administered by their organization to ensure security, anonymity, and confidentiality of the information that each respondent shares.

I am asking you to take 15-20 minutes out of your busy schedule to complete this important survey by Friday, March 26. The survey is available in three languages. You can access it in the language of your choice by clicking on the corresponding link:

Below are a few other things to keep in mind as you progress through the survey:

1. The survey can be completed on a laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone device.  It is best suited to Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari browsers.

2. You must complete all of the required questions in order to advance through the evaluation. Required questions are marked with a red asterisk.

3. As you move from page to page in the evaluation, please use the Back and Next buttons at the bottom of each survey page.

4. The system will record your response as you advance through the questions.  You can leave the survey at any time, and return later to resume your response.  Simply click Save and Resume Later.  The system will generate a URL for you to use in returning to the point where you left off and continuing your entry.  You can choose to copy that URL and save it, or to have the system email the URL to you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. We hope to hear from you so that your voice can inform our work moving forward!

Sincerely,
Randy Ribay
Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Social Justice Coordinator
