Last Chance for School Picture Retakes
Due to the winter weather event in our area on Tuesday, Prairie Campus has made the decision to postpone Hybrid Group A in-person photos, as well as our scheduled after school photos for families this evening. Changes have been made to this document specific to the postponement of the photo event and are listed in bold & red font for easy identification.
Please know, we have rescheduled Tuesday's in school & on campus and evening photos for Tuesday, February 9th.
