What's Happening at The Prince Charles School
Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!
Hard to believe we are already entering November! I hope everyone that is out and about tonight for Halloween has a fun but safe time. Fingers crossed for no rain!
Another quiet week coming as far as field trips and events. The big day will be Monday - School Picture Day! Be sure to brush that hair and come ready to smile. Also Thursday will be our first lock down drill at 10:45 am. Classes will practice before and know what to do when we have the drill to help limit any anxiety around it.
This weekend as you put the Halloween decorations away its time to start thinking Christmas. What better way to do that then by ordering a poinsettia from our SAC! Different sizes available, check out the ad below and order on School Day.
While were on the topic of holiday spirit, don't forget you can donate any gently used items to our Kids Only shopping room. This allows students to purchase gifts for their family before we break for the holidays. Details in a poster below.
As always, be sure to check out all the information shared in the posters below, including information from the Health Unit and an announcement regarding a military exercise in Napanee.
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.
