How does the VSB differentiate between Bullying, Peer Conflict and Mean Behaviour? Parents can increase their knowledge and access resources to support their children in creating a safe education for all. 

VSB defines: "Bullying is serious behavior that has three key features – all three must be present for the situation to be considered bullying:
  •   Power imbalance -- One child clearly has power over the other(s), which may be due to age, size, social status, and so on.
  •   Intention to harm -- The purpose of the bullying behaviour is to harm or hurt other(s) – it’s intended to be mean and is clearly not accidental.
  •   Repeated over time -- bullying behaviour continues over time, and gets worse with repetition. There is a real or implied threat that the behaviour will not stop, and in fact will become even more serious. "
For VSB definitions of Peer Conflict and Mean Behaviour:

February 26th is Pink Shirt Day and the Vancouver School Board raises awareness to stop bullying in our schools. Send your child in Pink (any pink will do!) and help promote inclusion,  acceptance and kindness. Check out these additional resources and the BC Government's ERASE Bullying campaign (Expect Respect & A Safe Education).

Blue ARE YOU MOVING? Forms were sent home last week and are due on February 28, 2020. A.R. Lord Elementary uses this information to plan for the September 2020 - June 2021 school year attendance, number of classrooms and staffing resources. Students who indicate they are returning will automatically be registered for next year. 

Cross Boundary applications are also open for the Vancouver School Board until February February 28th. 
  • Students in the Vancouver School District are allowed to register at a school outside of their catchment area as a cross boundary applicant. Cross boundary applications will only be considered after all in-catchment students have been accommodated.  
  • You MUST register at your English Catchment School BEFORE submitting an online cross boundary application within the month of February.

Hot Lunch will be served up for those who have pre-ordered (Whitespot) and Early Dismissal on Thursday February 13th. 

If you have ordered a hot lunch and your child is away or sick that day, here are a few options to consider:
  1. Swing by the gym during hot lunch and pick up your child's lunch.
  2. Swing by the office at 3pm on the day of hot lunch. We will put your child's lunch in the fridge and we can grab it for you at the end of the school day.
  3. Consider your order a donation to the AR Lord PAC - much appreciated!​
