Dear Families,

It was amazing to see so many families at last nights fun fair! I want to give a HUGE thank you to our parent council for organizing the fun fair, and all our other events this year. They work so hard to bring fun experiences to our school community, and that's not all they do! They provide financing for whole school initiatives, provide individual classroom funds, and run hot lunches twice a week. I am extremely grateful for their consistent engagement in making TPCS the best place to be!

You may know that Allison Madden is retiring. We are happy to announce her years of dedication to teaching and this school community are being recognized! She will be receiving the J.C. McLeod award for teaching excellence in the Limestone District School Board at a ceremony in the coming weeks at the Board office. Congratulations Mrs. Madden!

TPCS Cell Phone Policy

Cell phone use by students impacts not only the learning environment but also 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.
