Eugene School District 4J

Información en español

The primary purpose of Eugene School District 4J’s affinity groups is to provide time and space for students of shared affinities from our school communities to come together in an environment where they make up the majority. In addition, affinity groups help students develop healthy self-identity and build networks both within and beyond the group through sharing experiences and belonging strategies.

A staff member at each school facilitates each affinity group while district program coordinators support each school-based program. If you have questions regarding an affinity group, please contact the program coordinator at the email linked below or call 541-790-5900.

Grupos de afinidad

El propósito principal de los grupos de afinidad del Distrito Escolar de Eugene 4J es proporcionar tiempo y espacio para que los estudiantes de afinidades compartidas de nuestras comunidades escolares se reúnan en un entorno en el que constituyen la mayoría. Además, los grupos de afinidad ayudan a los estudiantes a desarrollar una identidad propia saludable y construir redes tanto dentro como fuera del grupo a través del intercambio de experiencias y estrategias de pertenencia.

Un miembro del personal en cada escuela facilita cada grupo de afinidad, mientras que los coordinadores de programas del distrito apoyan cada programa basado en la escuela. Si tiene preguntas sobre un grupo de afinidad, comuníquese con el coordinador del programa.
