Safe and Supportive Schools/Character Education/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.
Reesor Park Public School supports the development of Character Education in the York Region District School Board. While parents, staff and students model positive character attributes in our daily interactions, we also focus on the monthly attributes during the morning announcements and in assemblies. Individual teachers highlight the attributes in their classrooms. Students receive "Gotcha" awards for demonstrating the Character Education qualities.
We live in a multicultural, multiracial, multifaith society. Reeor Park's School Council is reflective of the community, where the majority of our families speak English as their first language. Reesor Park Public School believes in the intrinsic worth of all students so that each feels respected, valued and validated. We celebrate diversity and model equity and inclusiveness in all our programs and practices. We assist our students to define, detect and reject all forms of discrimination which limit their potential and that of others.
