The Wellington Catholic District School Board is committed to providing the highest degree of service to all students entrusted to its care. The Board recognizes that the diverse emotional and behavioural needs of some students may require unique discipline, accommodation and or modification. A healthy, safe and inclusive learning environment where all students feel safe, included, and accepted is a necessary condition for student success and well-being. The WCDSB is committed to maintaining a positive school climate that follows the principles of progressive discipline. This policy will work in concert with the Safe Schools Code of Conduct Policy: SMW.E.4 and the Bullying Prevention and Intervention Policy: SMW.E.5 to ensure a positive Catholic learning environment for all students.
