Students have the opportunity to purchase a popcorn treat for just 50¢. Popcorn punch cards are available for purchase so that you never forget those pesky quarters again! Huge thank you to our PTO for providing this again as our students look forward to this with great anticipation!
Class Placements
CLASS PLACEMENTS
We do not allow parent requests for class placement as we have found this hinders our ability to create classes that are fair and balanced.
Based on educational research, the Prairie staff strongly believes that students should be placed in classrooms that have a balance of academic abilities, social skills, and gender. We are very fortunate at Prairie Elementary to have a staff of highly qualified teachers that are committed to meeting the learning needs of every student. We strive to create a learning environment where all students can reach their potential. In such an environment, we have found that almost all students will learn and experience success with any of our teachers. Few students actually need to be assigned one particular teacher versus another.
Here are the criteria we use each year for student placement:
Academic needs and strengths
Behavioral needs and strengths
Social needs
Learning style
Gender balance
Even balance of children of all achievement levels
