What's Happening at The Prince Charles School

Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!

With the snow day last week, I would like to remind families that it is officially bus cancellation season. I try and message families when I am informed, however it is best that families use Tri-Board for bus specific messages. Check out the poster below for more details.

Winter also leads to a spike in head lice cases in schools. We do checks and notify families when there are cases identified in classrooms, but it helps to be vigilant at home as well. Check your little ones hair when brushing, and if you find lice move ahead with treatment. More details are below, and if families need support to complete treatment please reach out and let me know.

This week only a few things coming. Wednesday grade 3 students will be heading to the pool for Swim to Survive, and Thursday will be a spirit day - Tacky Thursday! Check out the poster below for more details.

The big event coming will be our annual Primary Holiday Concert! Classes have begun to learn songs, skits, and dances to share with families December 17th. This event has a graphic further down in the newsletter.

SAC would like to share that this coming Friday will be Poinsettia order pickup. Also Merch orders are available with delivery in time for Christmas, details down in the update.

I would like to thank families for all the donations that have come in for our Kids Only shopping room. This allows students to purchase gifts for their family before we break for the holidays. Details in a poster below.

As always, be sure to check out all the information shared in the posters below, including information about the LDSB Student Census that is coming up before the end of November.

 Have a great weekend, J'espère que vous avez tous une bonne fin de semaine!

Bill Dowling

Daily Schedule

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.
