Little Prairie Primary School
September 2023
From the Principal's Desk
Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year! With conferences behind us and the first few days under our belts, we are on our way. We have had a great start, learning routines and expectations, and becoming familiar with classrooms, the building, and new classmates.
I would like to officially welcome any new students and families to our school community, as well
as welcome and offer an introduction to the following new staff members:
* Ashlyn Brey- 5K Teacher
* Brianna (Bri) Martin- 5K Teacher
* Jessica (Jess) Borkowicz- 5K Teacher
* Jennifer (Jen) Diehn- 1st Grade Special Education Teacher
* Laura Vander Veen- 4K Special Education Teacher
* Bailey Design- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Brooklyn Goodchild- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Abby Brainerd- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Abby Erman- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Andrea Sautbine- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Amy Tesch- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Becky Parsons- Special Education Paraprofessional
* Missy Marcussen- PM Lead Custodian
* Rosie Aumann-Head Cook, Food Service
As we get into the swing of things, I ask that you please make every attempt to have your child
to school on time. Attendance is critically important, and the primary grades are the perfect
opportunity to establish good attendance habits early. Additionally, please remember that
beginning Monday, September 11th , we ask that for those driving your children to school, you
either drop them off at the curb or say goodbye to them at the front door. This will help in
fostering independence in your little ones, as well as assisting in getting our day started in a
timely manner.
I am also seeking your continued cooperation at pick up time, both AM 4K pick up, as well as
pick up at the end of the day. For anyone who picks up their 4K student after the morning
section, as you may have noticed, we have three buses that pull into the parking lot at dismissal
time. It is difficult for the buses to get into their spots on time when a line of cars is at the curb.
We ask that any families picking up, please park in a stall and either use the cross walk to come
meet your child at the door or wait in your parking stall until the three buses have pulled through
and then pull along the curb.
Similarly, at the end of the school day, there are essentially two options for meeting up with your
child(ren). You can enter into the car line that forms, or you can park in a stall and walk over
using the cross walk. Please avoid parking your car on the stretch of curb between Little Prairie
and Prairie View, as that interferes with the line that forms at Prairie View. If you choose to park
your car and walk up to the building, please wait on the sidewalk behind our digital sign, and a
staff member will check in with you. If you are pulling up to the curb, please form a line,
beginning at the crosswalk, and pull away in that same order. When cars try to pull in front of
the line or back up to try to get around the car in front of them to exit the line, it can create a
safety concern. This would be a huge help in ensuring dismissal goes smoothly.
We appreciate your assistance, as we get the year started and adjust to back-to-school routines
and procedures. Thanks for a great start!
Focused on growth for all students,
Lindsey Harris, Little Prairie Principal
