Prairie Vista's Weekly Newsletter
October 5, 2018
October is here and we have many activities happening at Prairie Vista. It is a month filled with fieldtrips, PVU, Spirit Week, and Fall Break to name a few. The end of the First Grading Period is October 17th. Conferences are scheduled and teachers are looking forward to speaking with parents about their children's initial assessments during the first weeks of school.
Information about Conferences, Attendance, and all of our Events in October are listed below. Please take a look.
A heartfelt "Thank You" to all of our parent volunteers for their time spent helping Prairie Vista! We appreciate all you do to benefit our students and couldn't do it without you!
Thank you for sharing your children with us,
Keely Twibell

Attendance Reminders:
Attendance Policy:
It is imperative that students be in attendance each school day in order to maintain consistency in their learning. Important learning results come from active participation in the classroom and other school activities that cannot be replaced by individual study.
Excused Absences:
Parents must provide an explanation for their child's absence by no later than 10:00 am on the day of the absence. Students may be excused from school for one of the following reasons and will be provided an opportunity to make-up missed schoolwork and/or tests:
*illness or being temporarily physically disabled supported by a doctor's statement or notification from the parent;
*death or severe illness in the immediate family or of a relative;
*a reasonable number of religious holidays to be approved prior to the absence;
*medical and dental appointments
Our Policy at Prairie Vista:
*To provide the Office with a Dr's Note for ALL appointments
*Vacations are Unexcused Absences
*It is our policy to request a doctor's note for absences that are two days or more in a row.
From the Nurse:
5th Graders who have already turned 11 years of age can get their 6th Grade Immunizations. If you have a check-up that is already scheduled, please get these shots added to your appointment. The two shots that are required before 6th Grade are the TDAP & Meningococcal. Thank you!
