Lockdown Drill
2020-12-03 11:25 - 12:15 | Ontario
Dear Families,
Our school will be holding a secure schools protocol drill, so that staff and students are prepared in case of an emergency on December 3 during Period 3. We appreciate the co-operation of our students and staff during the drill. During any secure school procedure, there is the potential that uniformed police will be in the building to inform and support best practices as they relate to the safety of the school community. It is also important that we all remain aware of secure schools terminology used in all of Ontario’s publicly funded schools. You can learn more about HWDSB’s approach to secure schools at https://hwdsb.info/secureschools
Sincerely,

John Gris
Principal

Shelter in Place Drill
2021-02-23 | Ontario
On the afternoon of February 23, Rousseau School will be practicing a “Shelter in Place Drill”. Hamilton Wentworth District School Board identifies the purpose of “Shelter in Place”:
This response is used for an environmental, or weather related situation, where it is necessary to keep all occupants within the school to protect them (e.g., may include chemical spills, blackouts, explosions or extreme weather conditions)
* people enter and remain in a building with the doors and windows closed
* fans, including heating and air conditioning units, should be turned off to prevent outside air from entering the building
* normal operations may continue within the building.
Please contact the school if you have any questions. Thank you for your support in helping to keep our school a safe learning space.

Pink Shirt (or Anti-Bullying) Day is recognized annually in communities across Canada as schools and workplaces come together by wearing pink shirts to show they are against bullying. This year, HWDSB will ground its theme for the day in the title of the recent Review Panel report: “Building Healthy Relationships and Inclusive, Caring Learning Environments.”
