Code of Conduct

Evergreen School Division has adopted the EBS (Effective Behaviour Supports, or PBIS as it is also known) model for managing student behaviour. A major advance in school-wide discipline it is an emphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviours to create positive school environments. Its focus is to teach and make students become responsible for their behaviour, not simply to punish them when they make mistakes.  The complete Evergreen School Division policy can be found here.
