Dear Families,
I can't believe we are already in June! Things get busy with school events as the year winds down.
Please communicate with us if your child will not be attending Prince of Peace in the summer. Also let us know if they are taking an extended trip somewhere so we can note it in their attendance records.
A few things to note for the coming weeks:
Pizza Days are done for the year.
Aubrey Noronha - Parent Event - June 9. 5:00 pm.
Family BBQ - June 3. 4:30 - 6:30 pm.
June marks Pride Month, Month of the Sacred Heart, and National Indigenous History Month. We look forward to this time of reflection, of opening our hearts and affirming the God-given dignity of every member of our community.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Shaver - Principal

No Toys at School Please
No Toys at School Please
As per our agenda and student handbook, we would like to remind you that we ask you do not let your child come to school with any toys, trinkets or special items. We cannot guarantee that they will safely return. This includes sports equipment and outdoor toys.
This helps eliminate distractions, student conflict, and the challenges that often occur when special items are damaged or go missing.

School Messenger: This is our main mode of communication from school to home. Please be sure to change your preferences to include attendance, general, and teacher to student messaging.
Drop Off and Pick Up by Car
The safety of our community is paramount to the school. To assist in getting all of our students safely dropped off and picked up, we would ask that ALL parents follow these procedures.
No children should be dropped off before 9:00 am. The school does not open until this time. No child should be left outside unsupervised.
Please do not park in the bus lane and do not enter the parking lot at the beginning or end of the day. This is for the safety of all of our staff and students.
Please yield to ALL buses as they have priority to drop off students and continue with their routes.
End-of-Day Pick-Up
Parents must sign out their child at the end of the day by coming into the office and signing out in the binder provided.
Please note that our parking lot is closed and reserved for our vans and special needs families.
Do not park in the bus lane. That is reserved for special transportation vans and buses only.
Knowing Your Child's Plans is Key
To maximize safety and efficiency, we kindly ask that you notify the school by 3:15 PM if your child's dismissal plans differ from their usual routine. After such time we cannot guarantee that messages will be received. This includes:
Being picked up by a parent or another guardian
Going to after-school care instead of a bus
If more than one pickup is occurring during the week, a daily email will be needed
By letting us know your child's plan in advance, our staff can prepare dismissal lists and ensure a seamless transition from the classroom to their designated pickup point.
Benefits of Early Notification
Knowing your child's dismissal plan allows us to:
Reduce confusion and anxiety for students during dismissal.
Expedite the dismissal process, minimizing wait times for everyone.
Ensure the safety of all students by verifying authorized pickups.
How to Communicate Your Child's Plans
There are a few easy ways to let us know about your child's dismissal plans:
Email the school at: prince.peace@ocsb.ca
Call the school office before 3:15 PM.
Dismissal Procedure:
The window for end-of-day pick-up is strictly between 3:40 and 3:45 pm. This is to minimize interruptions to the classroom and allow staff to safely prepare for the end of the day.
Please note that students will not be released before 3:40 pm unless there is a pre-arranged need for an earlier departure (e.g., sports practice, dental appointments, etc.).
If students are being picked up for a special appointment or a sports practice, we ask that you email the school that morning at prince.peace@ocsb.ca. For safety, we ask that you choose a pick-up time of 3:40 pm or before 3:20 pm. Students will not be called out of class between 3:15 pm and 3:40 pm.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.
Forks and Spoons!
Forks and Spoons!
We are experiencing a huge demand for forks and spoons at lunch time. Please send your child with the appropriate cutlery to eat their lunch. We do not want to keep handing out plastic forks and spoons. It is not good for the environment and it is an expense that can be eliminated if cutlery is provided from home. Thank you so much!
