September 25 – Oct. 2
The York Region District School Board is committed to providing safe learning environments for all students.
To support this endeavor, the week of Sept. 25 – Oct 2 has been designated as Safety Awareness Week. All public and secondary schools across the region will be featuring activities intended to increase awareness of safety hazards and how to avoid them.
Safety Awareness Week will also include emergency preparedness exercises. To ensure that all members of the school community are familiar with the emergency procedure, we will be conducting a practice lock-down drill. In advance of the drill, we will review protocols and expectations with all students, staff and affected partners.
Families are encouraged to extend the conversations around safety at home by discussing street safety and safety at home.
