May 9 & 10, 2013: Students will be doing this online and completely anonymous survey. Non- consent forms and letters of explanation were sent home last week and are to be returned by April 30. We encourage all students complete the survey so that we can have a better understanding of how safe our students feel at Rideau. This will help our staff develop strategies to prevent bullying and to promote a safe and inclusive school, because when students feel safe they are more likely to do well at school.

More information about the Tell Them From Me survey is at www.thelearningbar.com
