Perth Road Public School 2017-2018
A message from the Office…
Our halls and classrooms will soon be filled with the sights and sounds of excitement
on the first day of school. We welcome back all of our students and new students as well. Staff have been busy preparing for the first day in order to enhance the atmosphere of our school and get ready for your children.
Class Placements- As in previous years, students will find out their class placement upon arriving on the first day of school. All of the teachers will be outside when the bell goes on Tuesday morning. They will be holding a sign indicating the grade that they are teaching. Students should find their grade sign and ask that teacher which class they are in. The teacher will welcome them and direct them to the correct teacher. Other staff will be on hand in order to help students to their class. Kindergarten students will know in advance who their teacher will be.
We are also eager to establish routines and create an environment that will promote a successful school year. With this in mind, it is important that our office be up to date with your child’s current information so that appropriate action will be taken when and if situations arise. The office coordinator’s office hours are 8:30AM to 4:00PM (with lunch hour from 12:55 to 1:55PM). Please note that messages left after 4:00PM may not be heard until the next morning.
We have prepared a package that we hope you will find informative and useful. It is also posted on our website www.perthroad.limestone.on.ca . Among the paperwork, we have included:
- School Calendar for 2017-2018
- Staff names and positions
- General guidelines and School routines
- Electronic newsletter email registration form
- Advanced absence cards
- Bring IT School Policy
- Computer Use Agreement
- School Activity Council Nomination form
Current Information Sheet and the Freedom of Information Sheet will be sent home with students later this week. Please complete these forms and return them to the school by Friday September 15th. This information is very important if a situation arises with your child(ren). We suggest that students bring the information back to school in the manila envelope, allowing us to reuse it. Please contact the office if you have any questions or concerns and we will do our best to help you. Thank you in advance.
We have a busy school year planned! We will keep you updated on events and activities through our weekly newsletter that will be emailed to you at your request and posted on our school website at http://perthroad.limestone.on.ca/ and the PRPS Twitter feed @prps_ldsb. Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
We look forward to working with you and your children during the school year!

Remember to send back the Student Information Forms by September 15th.
Before and After School Care Program- If you require before or after school care please contact Bev Blakely, Supervisor, School Age Care and Nursery School YMCA
Tel: 613-546-2647 ext. 234
This program will not begin on the first day of school due to the low number of registrations which makes it challenging to create a viable program. Hopefully more children will register this fall and the program will be able to run.
