Eagles Exclamation
August 28, 2022
PV Eagle Families
It was a great first week at Prairie View. The first two days of the week, the staff participated in Institute Days, where we came together as a building and district staff. #KirbyONE40. On Wednesday, we were excited to welcome back our students with an all-school assembly and PBIS activities in the classrooms. We spent the remainder of the week setting students up academically and socially for success. Our theme this year is #EaglesYouAreTheFuture, focusing on preparing students to be successful in school now and in the future.
Seeing so many parents at the Open House on Wednesday was fantastic. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any staff member with questions or concerns. We are all very excited about the new year.
Best Regards,
Ms. Maura R. Baskovich
