Watson Elementary Code of Conduct 2025/2026 

Ey Kw’esé e’mí, Ts’elxwéyeqw, Pélolhxw qas te Sémá:th, mestíyeqw te xáxa témexw, ewólem qas syóys. It is good that you are here, we are honoured to work, play and learn on the sacred territory of the Pil’alt, Ts’elxwéyeqw (Chilliwack), and Sémá:th (Sumas) peoples. 

We acknowledge the lasting historical and ongoing impacts of the colonialized education system for Indigenous families. We strive to honour, acknowledge and recognize the rights and voice of Indigenous families and communities, knowledges and teachings. We are open to working together to support the well-being of students. 

Purpose: To provide guidelines for students, staff, and families that align expectations with District values and B.C. Human Rights Code. We believe in a safe and caring learning environment free from acts of discrimination in any form including ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, religious beliefs, marital or family status, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, ancestry, or national origin. We respond to incidences and offer support to foster a positive learning environment. This is aligned with Policy 310: Student Expectations, Rights and Responsibilities.  

The Chilliwack School District #33 values: 

Together at Watson Elementary, in the community and online, we are working towards learning:

Getting Help  

If your child brings home a concern that you have not been notified of, reach out first to the classroom teacher. The teacher will reach out to further supports if needed for resolving concerns.  

ERASE (Expect Respect & a safe education) provides resources and information for students, staff and families.  

When a student’s behaviour isn’t appropriate, intervention may include: 

Fair Notice: We respond to all student behaviour that pose a potential risk to themselves, other students, staff and members of the community.   
 
The District assumes no responsibility for the loss, destruction, or theft of any personal items brought to school, stored by the school or to any school related activity by a student (bikes, technology devices, musical instruments, etc). 

Syós:ys let’se th’ále lets’emó:t  

One heart, one mind, working together for a common purpose 

The Chilliwack School District believes in the collective responsibility of creating and maintaining positive learning environments. As staff, parents, students and community partners, we can all support safe and caring schools.
