Belong

                  All students belong, are engaged, and valued in an inclusive environment.

We will do this by:

• Establishing inclusive and welcoming learning environments in which every student feels valued and feels a sense of joy, engagement, and belonging. 
• Providing professional learning, resources, and opportunities dedicated to prioritizing and nurturing student mental health and well-being. 
• Expanding platforms for student voice and leadership, helping them to shape their educational experiences and contribute meaningfully to the school community.
• Embracing restorative practices where appropriate to foster understanding and empathy and to cultivate strong, supportive relationships among all members of the school community.
• Increasing inclusivity and support for all students, including students with disabilities/special education needs, in recognition and celebration of their unique abilities and contributions.
• Actively engaging parents/caregivers/guardians and diverse community agencies to foster collaborative relationships that promote holistic development and well-being of TDSB students.
