Panther Post - Nov 6

🐾 Panther Post 🐾

We have a few important dates and reminders to share with families as we head into the coming week!

📸 Photo Day

Photo Day is Monday! Students will have their individual photos taken. Class photos will be taken in a few weeks on Retake Day, so stay tuned for more information.

🍎 Report Cards

Report cards will be coming home on Friday, November 13th. We encourage families to take some time to celebrate their child’s progress and talk together about their learning and goals.

🎄 Parent Council Holiday Market

Don’t forget that our Parent Council Holiday Market is tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Lions Hall! We hope you’ll stop by, support our school community, and get a little holiday shopping done along the way.

Remembrance Day Ceremony – November 11

On November 11, our students and staff will be attending the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Verona Cenotaph in McMullen Park. We will leave the school at approximately 10:30 a.m. and return following the conclusion of the ceremony.

Families of students who will be wreath bearers or reading a poem will be contacted directly. Parents and caregivers are also welcome to attend the ceremony with their child. Please let your child’s teacher know if you plan to do so.

As we will be outside for the ceremony, please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including warm layers, a coat, and suitable footwear.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or the school office.

We look forward to coming together as a school community to honour and remember those who have served.

Proud to be a Panther,

Mistene Clapp
Principal, Prince Charles Public School

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

Limestone District School Board Concussion Codes of Conduct:

• Concussion Code of Conduct for Interschool Sports - Coach/Team Trainer
• Concussion Code of Conduct for Interschool Sports - Parent/Guardian
• Concussion Code of Conduct for Interschool Sports - Students
