Alcohol, Tobacco & Controlled Substances

Any student who is in possession of, or under the influence of any illegal substance, marijuana, alcohol, or inhalants (vaporizers, including e-cigarettes) on school property, or during school-sponsored activities, may face suspension and/or expulsion as outlined in the Drug Free Protocol for St. Albert Schools and the Code of Conduct for St. Albert Public Schools. Students are reminded that all vaporizers (including e-cigarettes) are prohibited on school property. Anyone using a vaporizer (including e-cigarette) on school property will have the device confiscated and that student may be suspended from school. The Drug Free Protocol for St. Albert Schools provides that unannounced patrols by RCMP personnel and a canine member be conducted in cooperation with school administration

Cameras

We value and respect personal privacy. Cameras of all types (cell phones, etc.) are to be used only as directed by a staff member.

Froshing (Abduction & Assault)

In cooperation with and in conjunction with students of St. Albert schools, parents, the community, the trustees from the two St. Albert school divisions, the RCMP and the City of St. Albert, we subscribe to the Safe and Caring Schools Initiative and we will not tolerate any participation in froshing activities. Consequences will include immediate suspension for a period up to five school days and may include the exclusion of a student from extracurricular activities, expulsion from school or school division, and criminal charges.

Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy (FOIP)

Privacy of student information and identification is in place at Bellerose. Parents requesting any information about their child will be asked to provide the five-digit school identification number given to the student at registration and found on student timetables and reports. If applicable, we also request that a copy of any court order denying access be given to the school. FOIP information is included in the course selection packages issued in spring. Any concerns or questions should be directed to the principal.

LGBTQ “Safe Contacts” 

At BCHS, we have designated staff members who are happy to support sexual and gender minority students and families, who include (but are not limited to the following): Lindsay Bracken, Jason Dabbagh, Jessica Gray, and Mike Larocque.
