Dear Families,
June, the final stretch, has arrived! Though this is typically the busiest time of year, next week is fairly quiet, with only regional Track and Field on Tuesday, and FKB to Second Chance Ranch for their year end trip. There are many events coming soon, including our annual Fun Fair on June 11th. Be sure to check out the poster below, and mark your calendar, we want to see you there! Also think about donating to JARS, JARS, JARS! for the fun fair. The more jars, the more fun it is for all!
Attention Gr. 7 and 8 parents, There will be a presentation by MADD Canada for Intermediate students coming up in June. Please see the outline below for details.
If you have 26/27 teacher/class/peer placement preferences for your child, please let me know via e-mail as soon as possible. While I cannot guarantee we can make your request happen, we will try our best to make it work given the organization of classes we have.

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
