Cleardale P.S.

2024-2025 Safe and Inclusive School Planlearning triangle

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 building healthy relationships using proactive communication strategies between peers.

We are doing this because our students have identified interpersonal conflict as an area of highest need.

Key Actions or Strategies

  • “Peer Pals” on the yard to help mediate conflict peacefully and model co-regulation.
  • Implementing a school wide social skills program
  • Student led Public Service Announcements at monthly assemblies to reinforce school norms/social skills (i.e. fair play, effective communication, etc.)

Community and Home Connections

  • Ask your child about what social skill is being focussed on each month and what strategies they can use to put it into action.
  • Try discussing the importance of solving conflicts in a non-violent manner at home with your child.
  • Check out this resource https://www.tvdsb.ca/en/resources/SafeSchools/Is-it-Bullying---Poster-2.pdf about the difference between conflict and bullying.
