Eagles Exclamation
November 9, 2023
A Message from the Principal
Dear PV Parents/Guardians:
I am pleased to announce that the final grades for the first quarter will be available in Infinite Campus on Friday and Honor Roll certificates will be sent home with students on Friday as well. I encourage students and parents to review the grades, celebrate accomplishments, and identify areas for improvement.
Additionally, I want to remind you about the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences, which provide a valuable platform for communication between parents and teachers. Parent-Teacher Conferences also provide a chance to discuss academic progress, address concerns, and set collaborative goals for the rest of the school year.
I am confident that the second quarter will be filled with new achievements, exciting learning experiences, and plenty of opportunities for positive interactions in classrooms, participation in or supporting our PV Eagles sports teams, and involvement in extracurricular activities.
Congratulations to all of our students on their achievements, both inside and outside the classroom!
Best Regards,
Maura R. Baskovich

Project Ride
As part of Project RIDE (Reinforcement in Drug Education), seventh-grade students at Prairie View recently met with a representative from the Tinley Park Police Department. The purpose of Project RIDE is to raise awareness and provide education on several important topics, including internet safety, tobacco/vaping/marijuana prevention, peer jury, and underage drinking awareness. Students also participated in team-building activities. The Project RIDE program promotes the development of active and responsible decision-making skills among young people.
