News You Can Use
Staying after school for an activity? Read on!
Students wishing to stay after school to attend extracurricular events must remain in the building. Those attending games must go to the LMC until game time. Students are not allowed to leave Prairie and then return to school for the game.
Hallway Locker Assignments
Just in time for winter weather, students have been assigned individual hall lockers to use throughout the day. They may choose to use them or may continue to carry their belongings with them throughout the day. The use of lockers is not mandatory. Locker practice and expectation discussions will take place during Colt Times on Monday and Tuesday, the 22nd and 23rd.
A Reminder of our Morning Student Drop-off Procedures
When dropping off your child in the morning please have your student exit the vehicle upon your arrival and line up at the appropriate grade level entrance. We want to make sure traffic is not backing up onto Dundee Road. As the weather changes, we will be allowing students into the building earlier if conditions require us to do so. As always, thank you for partnering with us.
Thank-a-Teacher Tribute
The PTO would love to provide our teachers with hand-written notes of thanks from our Prairie families. These can be written from parents and/or students. Our goal is to have LOTS of letters to post in the teacher’s lounge. Please drop your sealed letters (addressed to the PTO) in the box on the bench outside the main entrance at Prairie no later than Friday, December 3rd. If you have questions please email prairieptopresident@gmail.com.
Upcoming Community Programs
Prairie is collecting teen gifts (ex. make-up sets, Axe body spray gift sets, sports apparel, headphones, etc) and books. Items can be dropped off at Prairie or at any of the the Barrington Giving Day locations. Please visit the website for more information. https://www.barringtongivingday.org/donate/
