What's Happening at The Prince Charles School
Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!
Things are finally starting to feel routine again now that we have put re-organization behind us. Lots of smiles in the hallways this week lets me know that students are glad to be back, we certainly missed them!
October hot lunches are now available for order on School Day. Both subs and pizza are offered, and the deadline to order is September 28th. If you need a passkey for School Day, reach out to the school and we can provide one right away. Details below.

The Scholastic Book Fair opens Tuesday and runs til Thursday. Classes will be given times to visit the fair, teachers will reach out with the details.
Friday we hold our annual Terry Fox Walk at 1 pm. A big thank you to all families for their donations....this was the most we have raised to date! Also the big event of the week is on Thursday make sure to stop by and visit during open house which runs from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Meet the staff, visit classrooms, and grab a slice of pizza on us!
Please review the memo below from the LDSB regarding the Human Development and Sexual Health Curriculum. The document contains links so families can review all the expectations of the curriculum, as well as a link to an exemption form if they do not want their child to participate in these lessons.
As we begin to navigate the year, please know that here at TPCS we are committed to an active partnership with our parents. I believe that open communication prevents issues from growing, so if at anytime you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to me via e-mail or by calling the school.
Have a great weekend, J'espère que vous avez tous une bonne fin de semaine!

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.
