Dear PCPS Families,
What a wonderful week of learning! Teachers are working hard to keep routines in place and ensure consistency, as well as celebrating a school year of hard work. We are not counting down, but rather making the last days count!
A big congratulations goes to our PCPS School Roadeo Team for placing 2nd at the Dufferin competition organized by the Optimist Club. A big thank you to Ms. Manning for your dedication and leadership to this event and for supporting our Panther’s Bike team.
A message from Mr. van der Wijst in the Library: As we near the end of the school year, the library is getting ready for next year’s adventures! We kindly ask families to help ensure that all library books are returned ASAP. Our library has closed for exchange. Thank you for supporting our library and helping us keep our collection organized and ready for September! We are hopeful that more books can be returned to replenish our book collection.
Support to Access Digital Report Cards for Parents/Guardians : To support upcoming report cards at the end of June, The Upper Grand District School Board has an online parent portal called Parent ConnectED. Parents/guardians are able to access their children's report cards digitally through this portal. To assist with access and support any technical challenges that families might experience, the UGDSB has created a support website for Parent ConnectED found here: UGDSB Report Card Support. This is also posted on our school website.
Within this website there is support on the following topics:
How to create a parent portal account
How to access report cards
A list of links to schools report card websites
The parent-teacher interview booking process
Information on 18+ students granting parental access
What to do if you forgot your password
Please note report cards for term 2 will be posted online on the 25th of June and a papercopy will also go home on this day.

E-Scooters and E-Bikes from the UGDSB: With the warm weather returning, it is wonderful to see more of our students choosing to walk or wheel to and from school. We are sharing the following information regarding e-scooters and e-bikes for awareness. Please note, e-scooters and e-bikes are not permitted on school property for students under the age of 16. This is in line with Ontario legislation which prohibits the use of e-scooter and e-bikes for youth under 16 years old. E-scooters and e-bikes are not permitted to be stored inside school buildings. Students are welcome to ride standard bikes or scooters to and from school, always wearing a helmet and following road safety rules.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
