Good Evening P.C.P.S Families,
It was wonderful to see the whole school come together to recognize the 45th Anniversary of the Terry Fox run at PCPS. Many thanks to Ms. Grist for organizing this event and to all staff and students for their participation. We can’t wait to welcome families back on our Meet the Teacher night on September 25th, 5:30-6:30 p.m Mark your calendars!
Scooters and Bicycles
Scooters and Bicycles are a fun way to keep students active and encourage walking to school. All scooters and bikes will be left in the bike racks outside the front office. Students will be directed to their assigned entry doors. We highly recommend that items are locked with a bike lock. Students riding motorized scooters are also highly encouraged to wear helmets. Items will not be stored in the school.
Reminder: Personal Items Brought to School
Students and parents should be reminded that if they choose to bring valuable personal items to school, the school board will not cover loss or damage.

Parent volunteers are always needed, please begin the application by contacting Mrs Marnie in the office (*A vulnerable sector check through the OPP is required to be a volunteer - Mrs Marnie will have the application to begin this process but it's best to get started sooner as it can take time). If you already have your check completed, it can be valid for several years, however you need to sign once a year to keep it valid (up to 5 years). Again, please contact Mrs Marnie to see if you can update yours today!
