🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from PCPS! 🍂
As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend, I want to take a moment to wish all of our Prince Charles families a very happy Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on the many things we are grateful for. At PCPS, we are thankful for our incredible students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and the strong sense of community that makes our school such a special place.
Whether your weekend is filled with family gatherings, outdoor adventures, or simply some well-deserved rest, we hope you have a safe, relaxing, and joyful long weekend. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for another great week of learning.
Happy Thanksgiving, Panthers! 🧡🍂🐾

Concussion Protocols
The Limestone District School Board is committed to helping all students succeed and lead safe, healthy, and active lives. As part of its commitment to student safety, injury prevention, and well-being, the Ministry of Education supports concussion awareness, prevention, identification, management, tracking, and training in schools through legislation, policy, and resources.
On March 7, 2018, the Ontario government enacted Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety), 2018, and amended the Education Act, to protect amateur athletes, including students, by improving concussion safety on the field and at school. The amendments to the Education Act came into force on July 1, 2019, and give the Minister of Education the authority to require school boards to comply with policy and guidelines on concussions, consistent with Rowan’s Law.
All school boards in Ontario are required to have a policy on concussion safety for students. These are outlined in Administrative Procedure 142: Concussions, as well as a variety of supporting resources and documents that outline a code of conduct for students and families, flow charts to identify and diagnose a concussion and assessment and management forms. The Ontario Physical Activity and Safety Standards in Education has information on their website regarding the concussion protocol.
Concussion awareness resources:
- Concussion awareness resources ages 10 and under
- Concussion awareness resources ages 11 to 14
- Concussion awareness resources ages 15 and up
