Reporting Disciplinary Action
After each violent incident, the school administration fills out a detailed Incident Referral Form and/or Police Incident Report, which will be placed in the student’s Ontario Student Record (OSR).

If the students transfers schools, the OSR accompanies him/her to the new school.
