I hope everyone is able to spend some time together as a family this weekend. We all might get a chance to spend some time outside as well, with warmer temperatures finally in the forecast!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Make sure to log into School Day this weekend, lots of things in there you won't want to miss out on. March hot lunches are now available, as is the last chance to support our SAC fundraiser - Mitchell Soup! Deadline is Monday February 16th, more details below. Also grab your tickets for our SAC Family Dance this coming Friday. Cost is $5 per student, adults and under 2 free! Check out the poster below for full details.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Some events to share next week, gr. 7's to Upper Canada Village, Boys A Basketball to LESSA tournament, and another visit from the Queens Junior Medics. Don't forget to keep scrolling to see posters of more things happening, including dental clinics for children with free services for kids under 17.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2026/27 Kindergarten registration is now open! If your child was born in 2022, then this is your year. Here at TPCS you can register in either English or French Immersion kindergarten programs, and you don't have to live in our area to register with us. LDSB aims to accommodate families who wish to have their children attend a school out of their area. There are some conditions so call the school to hear the details. </span><a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/registration" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Registrations are completed on-line, follow the link to get started! </span></a></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are also on the look out for hockey helmets. In order for classes to go skating, they need to have hockey helmets for every student. If you have old helmets gathering dust we will gladly take them so we can make sure more of our classes can go on skating trips.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As always please reach out if you have any questions.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Bill Dowling</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">WEEK AHEAD</span></u></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 20px;"><td class="editor-tableCell" style="width: 122px;

In accordance with the Limestone District School Board’s Policy as well as the Ministry of Education’s Policy, students are not to be using cell phones at school unless they are directed to do so by their teacher for instructional purposes. As a staff, we have discussed why certain students may need to use their cell phones while at school and we will make sure we connect with those students and their parents to make a plan. We also want to highlight that if there needs to be any communication between home and school during the school day, this needs to go through the main office by calling 613-354-2121.hen your child arrives at school, they will be directed to put their device in a safe container in the classroom. If your child does not follow the expectations around cell phone use, their device will be housed in the office for the day. There will not be any warnings given. Your child will be able to pick it up at the end of the day. If their device is being misused again, a parent/guardian will be asked to come pick up the cell phone. This policy extends to the use of headphones/earbuds without direct permission from a teacher. Our goal is to make the most use of class time and create an effective, focused, and respectful learning environment for all students.</span></p><h1 class="editor-heading-h1" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">LDSB Student Dress Policy</span></h1><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is committed to upholding human rights, and creating an equitable, inclusive, and accessible school climate that ensures all students and staff feel safe, comfortable, and accepted.

In accordance with the Limestone District School Board’s Policy as well as the Ministry of Education’s Policy, students are not to be using cell phones at school unless they are directed to do so by their teacher for instructional purposes. As a staff, we have discussed why certain students may need to use their cell phones while at school and we will make sure we connect with those students and their parents to make a plan. We also want to highlight that if there needs to be any communication between home and school during the school day, this needs to go through the main office by calling 613-354-2121.hen your child arrives at school, they will be directed to put their device in a safe container in the classroom. If your child does not follow the expectations around cell phone use, their device will be housed in the office for the day. There will not be any warnings given. Your child will be able to pick it up at the end of the day. If their device is being misused again, a parent/guardian will be asked to come pick up the cell phone. This policy extends to the use of headphones/earbuds without direct permission from a teacher. Our goal is to make the most use of class time and create an effective, focused, and respectful learning environment for all students.</span></p><h1 class="editor-heading-h1" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">LDSB Student Dress Policy</span></h1><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is committed to upholding human rights, and creating an equitable, inclusive, and accessible school climate that ensures all students and staff feel safe, comfortable, and accepted.

In accordance with the Limestone District School Board’s Policy as well as the Ministry of Education’s Policy, students are not to be using cell phones at school unless they are directed to do so by their teacher for instructional purposes. As a staff, we have discussed why certain students may need to use their cell phones while at school and we will make sure we connect with those students and their parents to make a plan. We also want to highlight that if there needs to be any communication between home and school during the school day, this needs to go through the main office by calling 613-354-2121.hen your child arrives at school, they will be directed to put their device in a safe container in the classroom. If your child does not follow the expectations around cell phone use, their device will be housed in the office for the day. There will not be any warnings given. Your child will be able to pick it up at the end of the day. If their device is being misused again, a parent/guardian will be asked to come pick up the cell phone. This policy extends to the use of headphones/earbuds without direct permission from a teacher. Our goal is to make the most use of class time and create an effective, focused, and respectful learning environment for all students.</span></p><h1 class="editor-heading-h1" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">LDSB Student Dress Policy</span></h1><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is committed to upholding human rights, and creating an equitable, inclusive, and accessible school climate that ensures all students and staff feel safe, comfortable, and accepted.

Message to Families - February 11, 2026

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear&nbsp;Families,&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is&nbsp;deeply&nbsp;saddened to learn of&nbsp;the&nbsp;horrific events&nbsp;that took place&nbsp;yesterday&nbsp;impacting&nbsp;a&nbsp;school and community in Tumbler Ridge, British&nbsp;Columbia.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No words can&nbsp;adequately&nbsp;express our condolences&nbsp;to&nbsp;those affected.&nbsp;Our hearts are with the students, families, and community members who have been&nbsp;directly&nbsp;impacted&nbsp;by&nbsp;this&nbsp;awful event.&nbsp;While there are many national and international events that&nbsp;affect&nbsp;people&nbsp;on a daily or weekly basis, events&nbsp;impacting&nbsp;schools have an impact on everyone attached to schools and education.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Significant events&nbsp;like these, that are in the public eye and heavily featured on news and social media, can have an impact on students and families&nbsp;in&nbsp;different ways. These impacts may&nbsp;look different&nbsp;for each person&nbsp;and be&nbsp;impacted&nbsp;by&nbsp;their source(s) of&nbsp;information&nbsp;and/or media&nbsp;coverage.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are here to offer support.&nbsp;The board’s Educational Services team is available to support students and families as needed.&nbsp;Educational Services&nbsp;has prepared&nbsp;the following tips to help&nbsp;families support students&nbsp;during&nbsp;this time:&nbsp;</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Recognize that&nbsp;students may&nbsp;become concerned that something bad will happen to themselves, family, or friends. Explain that safety measures are in place and reassure them that you and other adults will take care of them.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If your student is not focused on&nbsp;what&nbsp;happened,&nbsp;avoid dwelling&nbsp;on it&nbsp;or&nbsp;having detailed adult conversations in front of younger&nbsp;students. However, be available to&nbsp;answer questions to the best of your ability. Young&nbsp;students&nbsp;may not be able to express themselves verbally. Pay attention to changes in their&nbsp;behaviour&nbsp;or social interactions.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For some, limiting exposure to media coverage&nbsp;or other sources of information&nbsp;may be important,&nbsp;particularly when&nbsp;social media&nbsp;platforms&nbsp;contain&nbsp;significant amounts of&nbsp;misinformation&nbsp;or disinformation. Images of a&nbsp;horrific event&nbsp;can&nbsp;become overwhelming, especially if watched repetitively. Young&nbsp;students&nbsp;may not be able to distinguish between images on television&nbsp;or their&nbsp;screen,&nbsp;and their personal reality.&nbsp;For older&nbsp;students who&nbsp;choose to watch the news&nbsp;or&nbsp;scroll&nbsp;social media&nbsp;stories&nbsp;related to&nbsp;the event,&nbsp;be available to discuss what they see and to help put it into perspective.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Be aware of your own needs. Do not ignore your own feelings of anxiety and concern or anger. Talking to friends, family members, and mental health counsellors can help. You will be better able to support&nbsp;others&nbsp;if you can express your own emotions in a productive manner.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition, community supports and resources are available:&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.spe.schoolmessenger.com%2Ff%2Fa%2F5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~%2FAAAAARA~%2FAhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cgrangea%40limestone.on.ca%7C1dd4b994643e4a1f80be08de698eb5e8%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639064258884292586%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=qfUtl3ogntDAI3yxWjmDmIvm79eSfhc0xUDxYtAllIk%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="Original URL: http://track.spe.schoolmessenger.com/f/a/5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~/AAAAARA~/AhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~.
