Reports and Plans

School Plan

In September, schools in Manitoba create a school plan to ensure continuous improvement in the area of student achievement. At École Viscount Alexander, the yearly plan aligns with the Pembina Trails School Division expectations for student learning:

1. For our students to feel safe at school and have a sense of belonging
2. For our students to feel interested, motivated and intellectually engaged
3. For our students to achieve grade level expectations in reading in French and English
4. For our students to be able to complete grade level computation skills
5. For our students to be able to identify at least 2 coping strategies for managing stress and reflect their usefulness

Safe School Protocol

As part of our health program, students are taught strategies for personal safety such as travelling with a buddy, knowing emergency information such as contact phone number and address, and avoiding interactions with unknown adults.  Parents may wish to reinforce these strategies along with those valued in the home with children as a new school year begins.

We are required to review emergency protocols each school year as part of our emergency preparedness and response planning. Fire drill procedures will be practiced ten times during the school year. Twice during the school year, in the fall and spring terms,  we will be reviewing  our lockdown practices and tornado drill. Lockdown is a procedure used when it is determined that students would be safest remaining within the building, with an adult in a safe/secure location. During the drill, students practice remaining quiet, calm and still once in their designated location. Students will follow teacher direction if evacuation is the safest decision. The purpose of the drill is not to alarm students but rather to ensure that everybody knows what to do in the necessity of a lockdown.   Tornado drills are also part of our emergency preparedness and will be reviewed and practiced once in the fall and again in the spring.
