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.

The Prince Charles School Weekly Family Update January 16th

<p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/213ffa10-0c7d-4de7-8790-2c01d8984f1c" alt="logo" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of us enjoy winter weather.....but it would be much better if it was spread out and didn't get dropped over the course of a couple days! Hopefully next week we will be able to get through our first full week without an inclement weather day!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If you missed it last week, our pick up and drop off procedures are listed below again this week. Please take a moment to review the information, as we want these times of day to be as safe and orderly as possible for our students and their families.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hot lunches for February are still available in School Day, as are milkshakes and our annual ski trip. Don't forget to order before the windows close!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No field trips or major events next week. There is lots of information included in the posters below however. I have now included a calendar with school events until the end of June. It will be updated regularly as more events are added to our calendar. </span></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;">Finally there is a collage of photos showing all the items in our lost and found. If you recognize anything, please feel free to stop by the school and pick it up, or have your child grab it at a recess break. Items will remain on display util next Friday, after that day they will be donated. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As always, if you have any questions please reach out and I'll be happy to respond.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Bill

the safety and privacy of others. 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.

the safety and privacy of others. 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.

2026-2027 School Year Calendar Survey

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is developing the 2026-2027 school year calendar. With Labour Day falling later than usual in 2026, the creation of a balanced and consistent calendar has presented more challenges than in typical years.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We continue to receive inquiries about the possibility of introducing a fall break. During the 2023–2024 school year, students, families, staff, and community members were surveyed on this topic. Due to the way the calendar year falls and contractual agreements, implementing a fall break is not something we are able to consider for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In collaboration with our coterminous boards—the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board—we have prepared </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">four calendar options for consideration</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.

The school may be closer to a workplace or near a childcare provider that might be more convenient for drop-off and pick-up routines. In accordance with board policy, by default, students will be enrolled in the school designated within their boundary area, based on their home address.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We aim to accommodate family preferences, but please note that out-of-boundary placements are not guaranteed, and families will be responsible for organizing transportation to and from out-of-boundary schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students may be permitted to attend any school within the board when there is available student space, upon submission and approval of the proper application. The board will not be held responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area. This applies to both students within Limestone’s geographic boundaries (out-of-boundary), and students who live outside of those boundaries (out-of-district).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
