The week of October 16-20 is being recognized as Safe
Schools Week in Anglophone West School District. This week offers an opportunity to focus on the safety and security of
our schools, and provides a special opportunity to educate the public about the
safety initiatives schools implement to encourage a safe and caring learning
environment.
“Keeping our students
and staff safe is a top priority,” said Catherine Blaney, acting
superintendent, Anglophone West School District. “Safe Schools Week helps
students and staff to be aware of the best practices and procedures to maintain
a safe environment in our schools.”
Safe Schools Week,
which occurs annually, consists of five days dedicated to helping students;
teachers, parents, and administrators raise awareness of the need to keep our
schools safe.
Schools district-wide
will host a series of activities for students and staff on such topics as emergency
preparedness, school bus safety and fire drills.
