Principal's Letter
Dear Prairie Point Families:
As families prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, we recognize all that we are thankful for. I am especially thankful for our school, staff, students, families, and community and feel grateful daily to be able to lead at Prairie Point.
Our teachers and staff have been touched by the outpouring of gratitude through our “Thankful For Your Forms.” There is still time to recognize and thank a teacher or staff member by filling the form using this link: https://forms.gle/tGzPvawz4dABEUGAA. Thank you for recognizing our AWESOME teachers and staff!
Grades will be available to view in Mastery Connect on Monday, November 21 after 4:00pm.
Students in grades 2 - 5 will be taking the Fastbridge winter benchmark testing between 11/28 and 12/16. Your child’s teacher will provide more specific dates on when testing will occur for your child.
Lastly, please remember morning drop off time begins at 8:45am. Doors will not be open before that time. With cold weather here, it is important for all students to stay in cars until staff releases them at 8:45am to come inside.
Once again, I wanted to thank our school community for your continued support and commitment. We hope that your family has a safe and restful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Noelle Fahey
Principal
