Dear Families,

Hard to believe March Break is almost upon us!  As the weather moves from frigid to sunny, remember that the yard becomes very wet in the spring, and extra socks and pants in school bags are always a good idea. Please see the updates and reminders below, including upcoming ordering deadlines in School Day and next week’s field trips.

Several items are now available to order through School Day. Please note the order-by dates:

• Hotdog Day — order by March 18
• April Popcorn — order by March 23
• April Hot Lunches — order by April 5

We are looking forward to the following trips next week:

• F8 — Curling at NDCC
• F5 — Walking trip to the Museum
• E 3/4 — Loveleigh Place

Don't forget that coming very soon...

• March Break: March 16th–20th - that Friday remind your children to bring home snow pants, glasses, indoor shoes, or anything else that might be needed over the break.
• Grade 8 Grad Pictures: Monday March 23 - Monday after March Break so don't forget to come with your hair brushed!

2026/27 Kindergarten registration is now open! If your child was born in 2022, then this is your year. Here at TPCS you can register in either English or French Immersion kindergarten programs, and you don't have to live in our area to register with us. LDSB aims to accommodate families who wish to have their children attend a school out of their area. There are some conditions so call the school to hear the details. Registrations are completed on-line, follow the link to get started!

As always please reach out if you have any questions.

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.

LDSB Student Dress Policy
