Dear Families,

A reminder that next Friday is a PA Day, and there will be no school for students.

Next week is quiet, the calm before the storm (June)! The only class leaving the building are the grade 7's travelling to see the Toronto Blue Jays for their year end trip. If you have a child registered for kindergarten don't forget our Welcome to Kindergarten event Thursday at 5:30 pm. Come and meet our amazing kinder teams, tour classrooms, and engage in activities with your child.

Apologies for the short notice, but it has been shared with us that Monday is Dress Loud day for Speech and Hearing month. Wear your loudest shirt or outfit to show your support!

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.

Our biggest event of the year is just around the corner. Our SAC Fun Fair is happening June 11th! Check out all the details in the poster below.

School-Day reminders:

• Year End Field Trips are now available
• June Pizza and Sub hot lunch - Final hot lunch of the year! Please order by May 31st

Week ahead and a year long calendar are available to check out below, as well as many opportunities/reminders.

As always please reach out if you have any questions.

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.
