Safe Schools

The HDSB Safe Schools team supports student success through interventions and staff learning that promote safe, healthy and inclusive classrooms. We work together to build positive environments where students can learn, grow and inspire.

Student safety is a top priority. HDSB is committed to creating equitable learning and working environments for all. We know students thrive when they feel safe, respected and included.

Our goal is to help all students become responsible and respectful members of our school communities.
