Safe & Caring Schools
Our Philosophy
South East Cornerstone Public School Division believes that all students have the right to learn and interact in a 
safe and caring environment. All students and staff are to display respect, tolerance, care and compassion for others, and no student or staff member is to condone or participate in any actions that may be regarded as demeaning, derogatory or discriminatory.
The Division is committed to creating and maintaining school community environments where all people are treated with dignity and respect. The Division recognizes that encouraging and respectful environments help students to achieve to the best of their ability. To improve student success and achievement, we must ensure that students feel safe, nurtured, welcomed, respected and included.
Fair Notice Letter
This "Fair Notice Letter" is to inform you that our school division has developed guidelines that require principals to complete a “threat assessment’ in all cases of students making threats to harm themselves or others.
Everyone is responsible for keeping our schools safe.
