Dear families,
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
As always, if you have any questions please reach out and I'll be happy to respond.

LOST AND FOUND
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.
