PRE Family Hoedown
Hey Ya'll! It's time for the PRE Family Hoedown! Grab your favorite partner and mosey on over for a fun night of dancing, games, crafts and more!
Also, we are looking for volunteers to help make this hoedown a success! Please considering signing up for a slot at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E4DAFA828AA8-hoedown
Fall Parties
Fall parties are scheduled for Monday, October 31. The parade will begin at 2:45 with the party following. We have an outside parade route so that families can come and watch.
You can help us to keep our fall celebration days safely on track by following these easy guidelines!
First, please remember that although students are invited to wear costumes to the fall parties, those costumes should be designed to be entertaining, not actually scary for our littlest cougars and bigger cougars (and Mrs. Fulcher). No blood, no guts, no gore, no weapons and no violence, please.
All students need to bring costumes to school in their backpacks or bag marked with their name. Time will be given for students to change before the parade.
Please save some excitement for evening trick-or-treating by leaving hair and face paint at home with extra costume parts like swords and daggers. Masks are fine as long as kids can see well enough to walk safely during the parade which will start at 2:45 P.M.
Classroom parties are from 3:00-3:30 in the classrooms. Thank you to our many parent volunteers who help to make this event happen! Volunteers may go to the classrooms beginning at 2:15. We will be maintaining our normal daily schedule until then, so disruptions to the classroom will be kept at a minimum with your help. Thank you!
As safety is always important, please remember that the parties are intended for Prairie Ridge Elementary students of attendance only. We do not have babysitting services during parties, so please make other arrangements for siblings if you intend to attend. All ages would be more than welcome to join us for the parade, but please do not plan to take younger or older (non-PRE students) children down to the classrooms.
All visitors must enter through the front doors and sign-in and out...even on party days! Thank you!

NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR LUNCH SEATING AT SCHOOL!
Please, keep in mind the following important points:
- Lunch periods are 27 minutes long and we have to stay on schedule to fit everyone in close to a normal "lunch time."
- Parents may be joined at their reserved table by their child only. It can create negative competition with hurt feelings when we allow for others to join.
- Parents may bring in outside food for their dining party only. Food and/or drink must be consumed during the lunch period and not sent back to class with the student.
- Confidentiality is important to us, so kindly refrain from sharing stories later if you happen to notice that another child is having behavioral or learning challenges. We've got people for that! Feel absolutely free to seek assistance from our on-duty staff if you notice that someone else needs help!
How do I sign up? Click this link to let us know when you are coming! Closer to your date, please call the office to reserve a school lunch if you're not bringing your own. The cost of an adult lunch is $4.35, which needs to be paid (with exact change, please) on the date you will eat with us.
