Student Safety
At SD83, we believe that every student belongs and deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. In alignment with our values of empathy, equity, and perseverance, we have procedures in place to respond to situations where students may be at risk of harm to themselves or others. One of these procedures is our Threat Risk Assessment Protocol, which ensures that appropriate supports and interventions are provided. Learn more about our Threat Risk Assessment Protocol  HERE .
