Safe Schools
The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board is committed to the development of the whole person and to providing a total education—spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional and social—in which the true worth of each person is recognized and promoted.
The Board is committed to maintaining safe, inclusive and accepting schools and workplaces, free from violence, harm and disruption. Building a positive and inclusive school climate requires a commitment to developing healthy and respectful relationships throughout the whole school and community, among and between students and adults.
