Child Safety
The information in this section is reprinted from the student agenda that is distributed to all elementary students in the Simcoe County District School Board.
Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect
The Ontario Child and Family Services Act (CFSA) provides for a broad range of services for families and children, including children who are or may be victims of child abuse or neglect. The Act promotes the best interests, protection and well being of children. The Act states clearly that members of the public, including professionals who work with children, have an obligation to report promptly to a Children’s Aid Society if they suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection.
Info: Children's Aid Society or Family and Children’s Services.
Safe Arrival
Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring their child’s safe arrival at school. Schools also implement a Safe Arrival Program along with daily recording of attendance. Parental consent to participate in the Safe Arrival Program is obtained at the beginning of each school year or upon student registration. Parents and guardians are requested to notify the school when a child will be absent. Parents are expected to provide the names and current telephone numbers of emergency contacts to be notified in priority in the case of an unexplained student absence.
Visitors
School visitors, including parents, caregivers, board staff, and external agencies, must sign in at the office and wear a visitor’s badge as they attend their pre-arranged meeting.
