Safe and Inclusive Schools

All students deserve to be safe and to feel safe in school. Whether it is on the school grounds, on school buses or at school events and activities student safety needs to be a high priority. Safety is an essential element in ensuring that each student reaches his or her full potential; students learn and teachers teach more successfully when schools are safe.

Grand Erie feels that it is important that all members of the educational community share this commitment to safety, and it is only once this is achieved that we can truly live our misson: Together we build a culture of learning, well-being and belonging to inspire each learner.

For further information about Safe Schools topics see the options located along the left menu including:

The Safe Schools Team is comprised of a Safe and Inclusive Schools Lead, a Social Worker, two Child and Youth Workers, and two itinerant teachers, one elementary and one secondary. Together, the team offers academic and non‐academic support to students who are on long‐term suspension (6 ‐20 days) or expulsion.
