The weather was chilly, but sunny and the student had much fun playing on the huge snow banks. This coming week, in the spirit of Valentine's Day, the grade 7/8 class will be selling CandyGrams at the start of lunch.  For $1.00 students can purchase a CandyGram and write a special message to a friend. On Friday these messages will be attached to lollipops and delivered to the recipient.  There will also be k-3 and 4-8 dances in the gym on February 12th. Students will be able to purchase a treat at the canteen. More details to follow.All proceeds will go towards the Grade 7/8 end of year celebration. Have a great weekend.Take care, everyone.Mary Jane JarvisAt Prince Charles Public School, we care about you. <hr> <img src="/images/f05f0e70-9777-4085-8ef0-aac5affa75ab" alt="LDSB Kindergarten Student Registration Website Graphic" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> <img src="/images/5bf3c61e-6578-48e8-ba80-ecf45aea911f" alt="2026 2027 Youth and Money" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> <hr> <hr> <h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;">DatestoRemember</h2>February 4, 11, 18 - Grade 3 Swim to SurviveFebruary 5 - Graduation Photos, Sibling PhotosFebruary 12 - Dance and canteenFebruary 13 - Junior and Senior Floor Hockey tournamentsFebruary 16 - Family DayFebruary 25 - Pink Shirt Day with Abby StewartFebruary 27 - Carnaval d'hiver<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr"> </h2><hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> </h2><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">PrinceCharlesSwag</h2> We are very excited that our Prince Charles spirit wear is now avaiable in our on-line store.

Class photographs were taken today! With mixed feelings, I am sharing that Miss Jasper, our grade 3/4 teacher will be leaving PCPS at the end of the week. We will miss her spirit and dedication to teaching and learning. She will be transferring to a school closer to her home where she has been promoted to a Student Support Teacher. Congratulations and best wishes from all of us at Prince Charles Public School.News about our new teacher will be communicated next week. Have you ever seen so many snowy days? Next week brings colder weather and, perhaps, more snow. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather with extra mittens and socks. We play outside for two recesses everyday (unless there are frigid temperatures or heavy rain). The temperature can vary by many degrees day to day. The next school council meeting will be January 27th at 5pm in the library. If the weather is bad, the meeting will be virtual.

Message to Families - February 11, 2026

Dear Families, The Limestone District School Board is deeply saddened to learn of the horrific events that took place yesterday impacting a school and community in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.  No words can adequately express our condolences to those affected. Our hearts are with the students, families, and community members who have been directly impacted by this awful event. While there are many national and international events that affect people on a daily or weekly basis, events impacting schools have an impact on everyone attached to schools and education. Significant events like these, that are in the public eye and heavily featured on news and social media, can have an impact on students and families in different ways. These impacts may look different for each person and be impacted by their source(s) of information and/or media coverage. We are here to offer support. The board’s Educational Services team is available to support students and families as needed. Educational Services has prepared the following tips to help families support students during this time: <ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">Recognize that students may become concerned that something bad will happen to themselves, family, or friends. Explain that safety measures are in place and reassure them that you and other adults will take care of them. </li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">If your student is not focused on what happened, avoid dwelling on it or having detailed adult conversations in front of younger students. However, be available to answer questions to the best of your ability. Young students may not be able to express themselves verbally. Pay attention to changes in their behaviour or social interactions. </li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">For some, limiting exposure to media coverage or other sources of information may be important, particularly when social media platforms contain significant amounts of misinformation or disinformation. Images of a horrific event can become overwhelming, especially if watched repetitively. Young students may not be able to distinguish between images on television or their screen, and their personal reality. For older students who choose to watch the news or scroll social media stories related to the event, be available to discuss what they see and to help put it into perspective. </li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;">Be aware of your own needs. Do not ignore your own feelings of anxiety and concern or anger. Talking to friends, family members, and mental health counsellors can help. You will be better able to support others if you can express your own emotions in a productive manner. </li></ul>In addition, community supports and resources are available:  <ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.spe.schoolmessenger.com%2Ff%2Fa%2F5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~%2FAAAAARA~%2FAhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~&data=05%7C02%7Cgrangea%40limestone.on.ca%7C1dd4b994643e4a1f80be08de698eb5e8%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639064258884292586%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=qfUtl3ogntDAI3yxWjmDmIvm79eSfhc0xUDxYtAllIk%3D&reserved=0" title="Original URL: http://track.spe.schoolmessenger.com/f/a/5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~/AAAAARA~/AhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~.

EQAO staff will discuss writing prompts and questions from the reading component of the primary- and junior-division assessments and from the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. Participants will hear how these prompts and questions help assess the skills students are learning in class. Staff will also highlight valuable insights and resources that can help parents and guardians support their child’s learning.
