Family Handbook 2019-20

Principal The Principal takes a leadership role in the daily operation of the school. The Principal will provide this leadership by: 1. demonstrating care for the school community and a commitment to academic excellence in a safe, inclusive and accepting teaching and learning environment; 2. empowering students to be positive leaders in their school and community; 3. holding everyone under her authority accountable for his or her behaviour and actions; and 4. communicating regularly and meaningfully with all members of the school community. Faculty and Staff Under the leadership of the Principal, faculty and staff maintain order in the school and are expected to hold everyone to the highest standard of respectful and responsible behaviour. As role models, faculty and staff uphold these high standards when they: 1. help students work to their full potential and develop their sense of self-worth; 2. empower students to be positive leaders in their classrooms, school and community; 3. communicate regularly and meaningfully with parents; 4. maintain consistent standards of behaviour for all students; 5. demonstrate respect for all students, parents, faculty, staff, volunteers and the members of the school community; and 6. prepare students for the full responsibility of citizenship. Faculty and staff shall also assist the Principal in maintaining close cooperation with the school community and establishing and maintaining consistent disciplinary practices in the school. In addition, faculty and staff must assist the Principal by reporting incidents and assisting the Principal in conducting an investigation.
