AMSS will be implementing School Wide Positive Behaviour Support or SWPBS.

This initiative builds the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing evidence-informed, school-wide and classroom discipline systems. SWPBS is a combination of effective practices that have proven successful for many children, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.  SWPBS has been shown to increase the effectiveness of instruction time, while making the school conducive to learning. By providing a school-wide approach, comprehensive support is provided to prevent problem behaviour. Procedures are proactive and implemented across all school settings in subject areas, on the grounds, in the halls, on the bus, etc. Evidence-based strategies and and systems to assist schools to:

  • decrease problem behaviour

  • Increase safety

  • Establish a positive school culture

  • Increase academic performance

For more information regarding SWPBS, please contact Mrs. Smith-Mckelvie

Student Success is about meeting the individual learning needs of each and every student. Schools are providing students with more opportunities to customize their high school experience and build on their strengths and interests through a variety of new and enhanced learning options. One of those options is the Specialist High Skills Major. A SHSM lets students focus on a potential career that matches their skills and interests. Each major is a bundle of classroom courses, workplace experiences and sector certifications. Students who complete an SHSM receive a special designation on their high school diploma.   If you would like more information contact Mr. Kaija and visit the following LINK
