The Peel District School Board is committed to promoting responsibility, respect, civility and academic excellence in a safe learning and teaching environment. Such learning and teaching environments are to be peaceful and welcoming for all. They must be free of negative factors such as abuse, bullying, discrimination, intimidation, hateful words and deeds and physical violence in any form. They must clearly demonstrate respect for social justice and human rights and promote the values needed to develop responsible members of a democratic society.This shall be achieved by establishing and maintaining high expectations for behaviour and at the same time offering a program with a strong emphasis on early intervention, conflict prevention and intervention, counselling and inclusion of social skills in the curriculum. The purpose of this policy is to provide a framework under which all administrative regulations, operating procedures and school Codes of Conduct relating to the Safe Schools Act, 2000 shall be written. This act requires that school boards develop their own policies with respect to conduct of persons in schools and appropriate dress. It also requires compliance with regulations governing Access to School Premises and Opening & Closing Exercises. This policy incorporates guidelines and, in addition, specific practices that, because of their importance, must be administered uniformly throughout the Board. This Safe Schools Policy is divided into four sections: - Peel District School Board Code of Conduct
- Access to School Premises
- Opening and Closing Exercises
- Appropriate Dress
