Dear families,
With the bus cancellations today and impending weather, the Family Dance Party scheduled for this evening has been postponed until next Friday Feb, 27th.
Students had the chance to watch Olympic hockey both in their classes and on the big screen in the gym yesterday and today. We hope it made some lasting memories for everyone!
Some events to share next week, our annual Ski Trip is a go for Monday and there is boys and girls basketball tourneys on Tuesday. Also don't forget Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day. Check the calendar for a more detailed look at coming events.
Don't forget to order your March hot lunches in School Day, time is running out with March only a week away!
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.

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.
