The three “Rs”

École Provencher as a Safe and Secure Place

Respect for our children’s emotional, physical and intellectual development is important. The staff believes in fostering an atmosphere in which students and adults will feel completely secure.

Classroom Discipline Plan

The classroom plan, prepared by the teacher and the students, describes classroom expectations. Its purpose is to make classroom management easier while strongly supporting the School Discipline Plan, and the principles of restitution.

Supervision during Recess

The school will continue to ensure that a minimum of three adults will supervise each recess period. We will encourage students to enjoy themselves, respect each other, demonstrate appropriate behaviour and play with caution. To ensure that supervisors are visible during recesses, they will be wearing fluorescent orange vests.

Social Skills

All teachers at École Provencher use social skills programs to help student achieve their full potential. Programs like Second Step, Free the Horses, Lion’s Quest, Be Cool, Bully Proofing and Restitution support the development of these skills.
