2025-2026 Safe and Inclusive School Plan

Our school is committed to providing all students with a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment free from bullying and harassment that promotes respect, acceptance, and empathy.

Staff, students, parents and caregivers, and community partners will work together as a team to help make our school safe and welcoming for everyone.

The Safe and Inclusive School Plan highlights some of the key actions that our school community will put in place as part of our bullying prevention and intervention efforts.

Key Priorities and Goals

This year we are focusing on social-emotional regulation and building positive, respectful relationships.  Developing a space where students handle conflicts constructively and take ownership of their actions.

We are doing this because data shows that students feel targeted by peers in negative ways, and they do not get along with each other and respect each other when resolving conflicts. 

Key Actions or Strategies

• Working alongside community partners on relationship building, acceptance, and resiliency.
• Foster an environment of empathy, where differences are respected and appreciated.
• Develop conflict resolution strategies by engaging in restorative conversations that acknowledge/express feelings to support the problem-solving process.
• Communicate with parents to ensure consistency at home and at school.

Community and Home Connections

Talk with your child about strategies they use to build positive relationships with others and resolve conflict.

Try expression of feelings and emotions at home with your child.  Have them explain how they are feeling? What part did they have in an interaction with a peer? What strategies do they use when conflict arises? What positive words could they choose to communicate with others?  Role-play positive communication.  When you _______ I feel _________. My heart feels________, my muscles feel _______.  I need __________.
