What's Happening at The Prince Charles School
Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!
Winter has come to stay early this year in town! Please ensure your child dresses for the weather as unless temperatures dip below -20 we do go outside to get some air and exercise. This is also important for older students who might choose looking "cool" over dressing warm, but a hoodie and crocs aren't going to help if they have to be outside for an extended period!
Be sure to place orders on School-Day this week for popcorn, hot lunch, and milk shakes, last chance before orders close!
Another week with a few trips happening. F2 and F3 are going to Belleville Tuesday for some YMCA climber fun and a visit to Glanmore house. Thursday F5 will be walking down to a Loveleigh place for some crafting.
Wednesday and Thursday this week our Kids Only Shopping Room will be open for students to buy Christmas gifts for family. All items priced $1, $2, or 5$. Please send your child with a list of the family members they need a gift for and our helper elves will be sure to check the list!
Wednesday is also picture retake and class photo day.
Check out the posters below for more events, including holiday spirit days!
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.
