Safe Schools

Westmount Public School

2026-2027 Safe and Inclusive School Plan

Our school is committed to providing all students with a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment free from bullying and harassment that promotes respect, acceptance, and empathy.

Staff, students, parents and caregivers, and community partners will work together as a team to help make our school safe and welcoming for everyone.

The Safe and Inclusive School Plan highlights some of the key actions that our school community will put in place as part of our bullying prevention and intervention efforts.

Key Priorities and Goals

Goal 1: Support ongoing efforts to ensure school communication is accessible and inclusive for all

We are doing this because by prioritizing thoughtful communication, we are creating more opportunities for meaningful engagement at Westmount

Goal 2: Build communication and conflict resolution skills that enable students to navigate disagreements constructively and maintain healthy peer relationships

We are doing this because staff and students have identified peer relationships as a growth opportunity, and strengthening communication and conflict resolution skills can help students navigate disagreements constructively rather than aggressively

Key Actions or Strategies

• Increase school communication with families
• Increase accessibility of interpretation services
• Increase family engagement in school initiatives and activities through available services
• Employ guest speakers or System staff to support students in conflict resolution and highlight the importance of strong relationship skills
