3) Promoting Positive Interactions
It is the responsibility of all members of a school community to do their part in ensuring positive interactions and respectful relationships. To maintain a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning and working environment, standards of behaviour must be followed by all staff (administrators, principals, vice-principals, educators, support staff), students, parents/guardians/caregivers, volunteers, trustees, community partners, community groups using board facilities, and all visitors on board property.
