Week 1 of Remote Learning is in the books! Super proud of our Lynx family. High-quality staff, teaching high-quality students, being supported by high-quality families makes for a great week! Know that we miss seeing our students face to face and wish you a safe and restful weekend.

Although we are learning remotely right now and it's hard to think about at this time, the following is an important reminder about requesting a change of learning mode: The next time to switch from Face-to-Face Learning (in school) to the Virtual School or vice versa is approaching soon. The next switch will take place on February 2nd.

Violence Threat Risk Assessment Protocol The Lambton Kent District School Board is committed to providing safe learning environments for all students, staff, school visitors, and community members. When a student behaves inappropriately, principals will most often employ progressive discipline strategies to help a student take responsibility for their actions, learn from their mistakes, and make better choices in the future. In more extreme cases however, when a student's b...ehaviour poses a potential threat to their own or others' well-being, the Community Violence Threat Risk Assessment Protocol (VTRA) supports principals in taking further steps to safeguard everyone. The VTRA protocol outlines how a school responds immediately to threatening incidents including but not limited to: possession of a weapon or replica weapon, bomb threat or plan, verbal or written (including electronic) threats to harm oneself or others, other threats of violence, and fire setting. The initial response team is likely to include the Principal / Vice-Principal, police, and board staff. Should conditions warrant, a Community Threat Assessment Team will be convened. This community team includes representatives of community agencies who work with schools and boards to keep our students and staff safe, such as local police and children's mental health organizations. Parents and guardians will be notified if their child will be discussed through the Community Violence Threat Risk Assessment Protocol. If parents/guardians cannot be reached, or if they choose not to provide consent, but a concern for safety still exists due to threatening behaviour, the threat assessment may still proceed.
