At Gordon Elementary, our Circle of Care<\/em> is designed to foster a safe, inclusive, equitable, welcoming, nurturing, and healthy school environment. This applies to all members of the Gordon community\u2014students, educators, parents and caregivers\u2014at school, traveling to and from school, at school-related activities at any location, or any circumstance or activity that will have an impact on the school environment (including online behaviour). The staff explicitly teach and model what it means to R.I.S.E.\u00a0<\/strong>in all locations of the school and the community.<\/p>\n

The Medicine Wheel is a symbol of healing, growth, life, learning and balance in many Indigenous communities. Through this lens, Gordon\u2019s Circle of Care<\/em> emphasizes a child\u2019s social and emotional growth. Research shows that children who are both socially and emotionally healthy are the best learners and the most successful in school. Our Circle of Care<\/em> seeks to support our understanding of our students\u2019 needs and how we can best teach them the skills they need to thrive both socially and academically.<\/p>\n
