In keeping with the Mission, Vision, and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, and in alignment with PPM 161-Supporting Children and Students with Prevalent Medical Conditions, prevalent medical conditions are recognized as potentially life-threating due to the complexity and severity of the condition(s). These prevalent medical conditions include anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and other prevalent medical conditions, including chronic illness, requiring an Individual Student Plan of Care.

The Board recognizes that a whole-school approach is essential for creating and sustaining healthy and safe school environments in which students can learn and thrive. Students with prevalent medical conditions are empowered to become confident and capable learners as they reach their full potential of self-management to the best of their ability.
