What's Happening at The Prince Charles School

Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!

 Welcome back to all of our returning families, and welcome to all the new families joining our school community! I hope everyone enjoyed the first few days of school and is excited for the fun and challenges that lie ahead.

 We are settling into routines and classrooms, though, I want to share that like every year, the possibility exists that classes may have to be re-organized to support changes in enrollment. This process is disruptive, but necessary if the numbers support it. Should this have to happen I will notify families as soon as possible.

 Please check out all the posters below for updates and information.  Currently a couple SAC related events on the horizon. The Junk in the Trunk Yard Sale will be running September 27^th. Book your spot as a vendor or plan to attend! Also coming up is your chance to join our council and help support our students and school. The first meeting of the year will be Monday September 22^nd, and at that meeting will be the elections for council positions. If you would like to join council or offer your support through volunteering, check out the poster below and complete the form at https://forms.gle/rdspyjg8EFRfjcGNA

 Our new playground is open and looks amazing! Students have enjoyed using our new climber, especially during this warm weather. You may have noticed fencing still up around the yard, but this is not related to any construction but was erected to protect the fresh sod.  It will come down in the next few weeks.

 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.
