Safe and Supportive Schools/Positive Climates for Learning/Equity Education

Every student has the right to learn in a safe and supportive environment. The York Region District School Board has a Safe Schools Policy and a defined procedure to implement the policy. Both the policy and procedure support the view that student discipline involves a continuum of support including prevention, intervention and appropriate consequences. In addition, E.J. Sand P.S. supports the development of character education in the York Region District School Board.
