Uxbridge SS is a wonderful school with many traditions dating back several generations.  I am so proud of our excellence in academics, sports, music, arts, athletics and tech.  And, I am so proud of our Tiger Spirit!  I understand that the markering of grade nine faces is once again being proposed as an unofficial initiation by a small group of senior students.  This has typically been done at the Uxbridge Fair and outside of school, and off school property.  I need to say to the USS community, that this is NOT how I want our new Tigers introduced to Uxbridge Secondary School.   Markering of faces is bullying and may even be considered assault.  I do not condone this behaviour.  Students who actively participate in the intimidation, initiation, or bullying of grade nine students will face serious consequences.    

I would ask that anyone with information about these activities, contact me directly. 

Many thanks.
