Dear PCPS Community,
And just like that, we are well into October! We have had a busy and engaging few weeks of school filled with many different activities. Students have represented PCPS well at our Soccer tournament, and our Snack leadership program is up and running. Each classroom has a cooler and students deliver snacks, fresh fruit and vegetables daily. Thank you to Ms. Morrell and school council member Sam Stevenson for your help with this initiative.
Our fall food drive has been up and going. Please help us support our community by donating to our Food Drive. Ms. Grist is collecting items in her room.
We are pleased to share that our TV Video announcements are up and running in our front foyer! Here is what is displayed this week. Virtual Announcements Oct. 8
Food Days: We are pleased to offer Pizza Day at Parkinson Centennial from our local Johnny’s Pizza. Pizza will be served on Tuesdays during second break.

Must be purchased for the full session. IF YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN, WE DO NOT STORE FOOD FOR CHILDREN. NO LATE ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Bikes and E-scooters: We have been reminding students that bikes are to be walked off of school property and helmets are to be worn when riding a bike or non-motorized scooter.
Clear vision is important to success in the classroom. It is recommended that all children have a comprehensive eye exam before entering school and every year afterwards. Annual eye exams for children and youth under the age of 20 are covered by OHIP.
