School Safety Feature Within TDSB Connects App

We are committed to working together with students, staff and families to ensure TDSB schools are safe and welcoming spaces for all.

Beginning in November, our school is one of 11 TDSB middle and high schools taking part in a pilot for a new school safety feature available within the TDSB Connects App. The pilot will run until the end of January 2024.

Students can now complete a form through the TDSB Connects App to report any school safety concern or incident that has occurred within our school community. The form will be shared directly with the appropriate staff person and students have the option to remain anonymous when completing a report. As always, for any serious incidents that require emergency response, students should speak directly with school staff and/or call 911, if necessary.

Students are also always encouraged to talk to an adult they trust. However, this new feature in the TDSB Connects App, in addition to the Student Safety Line, is now available so that we can be more responsive to student concerns and can help make schools even safer learning environments for everyone.

If you don’t already have the TDSB Connects App, download it today!

Please speak to the Principal or your teacher if you have any questions.

We walked over 17000 steps each day, ate LOTS of food, from burger to steak, and came home completely exhausted 😊 .

Food is a basic human right and our community needs our help. Collection bins are located outside of the main office.

Please consider donating non-perishable items by December 19, 2022. Alternatively, you may wish to make an online donation directly to the Daily Bread. $10 donations will automatically receive a tax receipt.
