Parent/Guardian Education: Dr. Liza Talusan - Building an Identity Conscious Home: Strengthening Communication and Community
Building an Identity Conscious Home: Strengthening Communication and Community School communities today are deeply engaged in the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion; yet, parents and caregivers' understanding of this work varies. As members of a school community, the question of how we show up as active partners is becoming more critical. But how do we feel when we talk about identity? Do we feel nervous? Scared? Uncertain? A solution is to create opportunities for parents and caregivers to further build knowledge, engage in reflection, and actively participate in learning related to identity so they can learn alongside their children. Join us for this interactive session as we explore what it means to build an identity-conscious home. Check the Redwood Day Weekly for the Zoom link.Virtual -
PGA Presents: Community Forum (IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL)
We look forward to welcoming parents and guardians to campus for our (almost) monthly Parent Guardian Association meetings, PGA Presents: Community Forum. We will meet in the library from 5-6 pm (students not already registered for X-Care can come for free during this hour!), though there is an option to Zoom in if you are unable to attend in person. Each meeting will feature a different special topic or speaker, as well as an in-depth Head of School report to learn more about what's happening at Redwood Day with the opportunity to ask questions, plus quick updates on upcoming PGA events and opportunities to get involved.

SEED Seminar
SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) Redwood Day is one of a growing number of schools across the globe participating in the 35 year old SEED Project, founded by Peggy McIntosh, at the Wellesley Centers for Women. SEED participants seek to examine our own lives/backgrounds and to learn about others in order to create a community where all members are supported and valued. Participants engage in activities, readings, and films that focus on diversity and connection. Learning more about ourselves and listening to each other helps create and support a more balanced, equitable, inclusive and understanding community. SEED is open to all Redwood Day faculty/staff and is co-facilitated by ash Black and Jodi Freedman.Redwood Day -

Redwood Day at Oakland Pride
This past Sunday, September 8th, the Redwood Day community came out in full force as an official contingent of the Oakland Pride Parade. As I arrived in downtown Oakland at 10:00 a.m., the crowds were already gathering, and I was curious about how many people from our School community would show up. As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I immediately began seeing our familiar Redwood Day Oakland Pride T-shirts attached to smiling faces from a bunch of our RD fam from a wide array of ages and backgrounds.Read More -
