What's Happening at The Prince Charles School
Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!
October is coming to an end, and with that comes Halloween! I hope families enjoy Boo Bash tonight! Unfortunately I cannot attend this year, as I had some last minute family obligations. I'll miss all the costumes and family fun, Boo Bash is my favourite event!
Next Friday on the 31st we will have BLACK AND ORANGE DAY to mark Halloween. Be on the look out that day, there may be some staff transformed for this fun and spooky day!
And as we all know, immediately after Halloween ends, the Christmas Season begins! Time to start thinking festive, and 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.
A really quiet week coming up. Other than Black and Orange Day, there are no events scheduled or trips planned. Thursday November 6th will be our first Lock Down drill, information will be shared next week for families. Please know that every effort will be taken to ensure that this is not a stressful experience for our students.
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.
