Prairie Vista's Weekly Newsletter
Note from the Principal
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to our PTO board who accomplished so much this year. Our volunteers never cease to amaze me with the time, dedication and thoughtfulness they put into everything they do. Heartfelt thanks to the outgoing PTO board for their hard work and a warm welcome to next year's officers: Sarah Kubinski (President), Kate Mannor (President-Elect), Teresa Meyer (Treasurer), Emily Milhoan (Corresponding Secretary) and Mita Juristyarini (Recording Secretary).
Attached to this newsletter you will find the 2018-2019 PHM Corporation Calendar. The calendar is also available online. Please note that the first day of school is Wednesday, August 22nd for students in grades 1-5 and Thursday, August 23rd for kindergarten students. The PTO will be sponsoring an Ice Cream Social and a Building Walk Through on Monday, August 20th from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. Teachers will be available to meet and greet families on Tuesday, August 21st from 1 pm to 2 pm. The school office will be open starting on Wednesday, August 6th.
A letter will be sent out to parents in August to update you on further information. Reports card will be mailed out the week of June 11th. Information on accessing ISTEP will be included with the report cards.
Finally, I would like to wish our current 5th graders all the best as they make the transition to middle school in August. I know they are eager and ready to move on and experience all the opportunities that await them. We will miss them but we are proud of them and happy for them as they move forward on this next step to adulthood.
Have a safe and relaxing summer!
Mrs. Keely Twibell
