Student safety is of prime importance. At Northern Gateway Public Schools, we have several measures and procedures in place to ensure the safety of students, staff, and guests. These include:
- a Division Emergency Response Plan and School Emergency Response Plans which work in conjunction with other local support and emergency response agencies within our communities;
- on-site emergency response teams at each school, along with a Division-based Emergency Response team that provides support and aid to schools at time of an emergency;
- all staff are regularly trained on emergency protocols and drills are practiced throughout the year at each school.
