Dear Families,

Next week is the annual fun fair and it is a can't miss event! New additions include Touch a Truck, and Paint a School Bus! The silent auction returns with one of the items being the opportunity on the last day to hit Mr. Dowling in the face with a pie....in front of the whole school! Also there is still time to donate a jar to the JARS JARS JARS event.

Our future grads go to Canada's Wonderland for their year end trip Monday, and on the same day E6 and F7 go to Gould Lake. Friday is the Mini Stinger race at 1:15 pm, families are welcome to come cheer our students on.

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.

I have tried to respond to everyone who has e-mailed a request, but may have missed some. All e-mails have been read however and added to our request list.

Classes and teachers for the 26/27 school year are listed below. Please note that these are tentative, as the staffing process continues well into June.

School-Day reminders:

• Year End Field Trips are now available

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.

Bill Dowling

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.
