At Essex District High School, we follow the Greater Essex County District School Board's (GECDSB) Safe Schools Policy, which is based on the provincial Education Act and the Ontario Code of Conduct. These policies set clear standards of behaviour for students, staff, parents, guardians, volunteers and any other individuals involved in public education.

GECDSB Code of Conduct

All schools within the GECDSB must align with the GECDSB Code of Conduct.

Essex High Code of Conduct

Essex District High School adopts as its CODE OF CONDUCT, the Code of Conduct for the Greater Essex County District School Board. All participants involved in the G.E.C.D.S.B. – students, parents or guardians, volunteers, visitors, teachers and other staff members - are included in this Code of Conduct whether they are on school property, on school buses, at bus transfer points, at school-authorized events or activities, or in other circumstances where engaging in the activity will have an impact on the school climate. All persons are responsible to the school principal or his/her designate, with regard to conduct, on or off school property, which has a harmful effect on the school, its participants or on the school climate. The staff, students, and community of Essex District High School believe that schools and school board organizations should promote responsibility, respect, civility, and academic excellence in a safe learning and teaching environment. A positive school climate exists when all members of the school community feel safe, comfortable, and accepted.

Provincial Code of Conduct

If you are a parent or guardian, you can review the Ministry of Education's Parents' Guide to the Provincial Code of Conduct, which sets standards of behaviour for each school board to follow.

Addressing a concern

Please contact us if you have a concern around an individual's conduct and behaviour.
