PRMS Website Calendar of Events
Did you know you are able to add the PRMS events and activities directly to your personal calendar? It is a great feature our website calendar has that could make keeping track of the busy middle school schedules even easier!
The "EVENTS" are listed in the middle column of our web page. Clicking on "See All Events" will allow you to sort events by category - General PRMS Events, Athletic Events, Performing Arts Events, etc.
Visit our website calendar at : https://www.usd231.com/o/pioneer-ridge
Under "Athletic Events" you are even able to sort for specific events, such as "Girls' Basketball Game Calendar" or "Wrestling Meet Calendar."
On the right hand side of the web page you will see options to "Subscribe" to the calendars and add these events to your personal calendar.
Google Translator to End
What does this mean to me?
Parents/Guardians and Students will no longer see the “Select Language” option inside of Family/Student Access (below) or New Student Online Enrollment to translate the application into other languages.
Here are some instructions, including video tutorials, to change the language that Google Chrome uses and have Chrome translate the webpages for you: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
Instructions on how to translate other web browsers can be found by doing a search within your browser.
ACADEMIC BUS
Runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This service is free of charge and open for all students to ride. It does not travel everywhere, so be sure to check location stops. It leaves PRMS at approximately 4:15 pm.
Click here to access the link to see where the academic bus travels and the best stop for your student. Simply enter your address in the search engine and see which stop is closest. Contact the office with questions.
Reporting Absences
This can ONLY be accessed via the PARENT Skyward account. Students do not have access to this feature.
If you need to pick up your student early for an appointment, etc., please call the office when you are on your way and we will have your student ready for you in the office.
Appointment or Early Check-Out?
- Call ahead (approx. 10 minutes) and we will have your student waiting in the office.
- Park on the South side of the building and come into the office to sign your student out.
- Have your license with you, to show at the front door for admittance into the school.
- When returning, no need to come back in. Students can walk themselves back in and get a pass back to their classroom.
TO PARENTS OF ATHLETES
PRMS Parents/Guardians: Per USD 231 policy: If you or a family member would like to transport your student athlete home after an away-from-PRMS activity, your students' coach/sponsor must receive a dated, signed statement in which you give your consent for your student to be thus transported prior to the day of the event.
Thank you,
