The Transportation Consortium and the Bylaw officers are asking us to ensure that our FIRE ROUTES are clear at all times. Our parking lot was designed for a WALKING ONLY community – and hence we are challenged by the vast number of cars through our Kiss'n Ride and parking lot daily. </p><p>Here are some suggestions as you work to help us keep our school the safest it can be for our students:</p><ol><li>Enter Kiss'n Ride through the entrance farthest from the Park (all others will be blocked as of Feb 20<sup>th</sup>)</li><li>Encourage walking to school – buddy up with older students or walking parents in the community to have groups of student walk to school</li><li>Park in our parking lot (if you can find a spot) and walk your child to the yard</li><li>Park on Winchester Terrace, across from the school and walk your child across the street to school</li><li>Drop older children off at the catwalk on Empire Drive and let them walk through the Park to school</li><li>Use only cross walks to deliver students to school (do not cut through the shrubs and through an active Kiss'n Ride area</li><li>Do not stop on the Queensway – especially to let students out of cars on this busy street</li></ol><p>Bylaw officers have notified us that they will be on school property randomly ticketing drivers who do not comply with the NO PARKING in Fire Routes bylaw and on the Queensway ticketing cars that stop.

| School Safety Information | http://hyd.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/43 | School Safety Information | <p></p><p>Student Safety is Always our First Priority!</p><p>We pride ourselves at Hyde Park as having the most awesome students ever, however, sometimes students are on their way to learning how to behave in a more socially acceptable manner. We all make mistakes, and learning from our mistakes is key to our success. At Hyde Park, we have a team of staff members who are well trained in responding to student behaviour that escalates to a point of putting others at risk. When this happens in our building, classroom teachers will be asked, via our Public Announcement system to ensure classroom doors are closed and locked. Students would continue learning. Outside the classroom, our BMS team (behaviour management systems team) will be called to assist this student in calming. In extreme cases, when student behaviour escalates to the point of harming others or self, this team is trained to safely contain the student. Sometimes other students may witness this. They are later debriefed back in classrooms so that they can better understand the nature of this type of staff response. To preserve the dignity and privacy of students and families, we will NOT be sending notification home each time this occurs (it is extremely rare). We know our community is compassionate and understanding of this. </p> | | | |
