All PPPS students and staff practice the characteristics set forth in the OCDSB Character Wheel.
Safe Schools Reporting Tool - An Anonymous Reporting Option for Students
The OCDSB has created a new Safe Schools Reporting Tool. It’s a private and anonymous way for students to share their concerns. If your child is feeling unsafe or worried about a friend or classmate, they can send an anonymous report through our website: OCDSB Report-it. This can be used for concerns about many different things, like: bullying, harassment, threats, hate or discrimination, mental health concerns, vaping or drugs, or other concerns that are affecting you or someone else. This tool is not a replacement for talking to their teacher or principal. It’s just another way to get help. If it's an emergency or someone is in danger, students should always call 911 immediately.
WITS
Over the last few years, PPPS has adopted the WITS program (i.e., Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek Help) as an Anti-Bullying initiative. Please consider taking a few moments to take a look at the WITS website in order to become more familiar with this program.
