Last week, our students and staff engaged in conversations around caring, safe and inclusive school environments. In a school assembly, we discussed the elements of a Caring and Safe School that would support the academic achievement and well-being of all students, including:
* Items and behaviours that are not allowed on school property (such as e-cigarettes, cannabis and scented products)
* What happens in situations of discipline
* Standing up for each other in bullying situations, including methods of reporting incidents of bullying:
--> Tell a caring adult
--> Use the YRDSB’s “Report It Button” (located on our school website)
--> Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868)
For more details on each of these items, please read the YRDSB Start-Up Guide given to our students (along with a sign-off sheet that must be returned as soon as possible.
You can also visit the YRDSB’s Caring and Safe Schools website for details and resources for families to continue the conversation.
We hope that you have a wonderful week and thank you for supporting our safe, positive and inclusive school community.
We will also be sharing the presentation at our first School Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Learning Commons on October 4. Welcome to all who would like to participate!
