PHS
Productive - Healthy - Safe
Productive: We are encouraging all students to take part in activities and athletics. We know that students that are engaged and active in the their school have high rates of success.
Healthy: We encourage students to make healthy choices and keep their body and mind strong.
Safe: Be a good sport in and out of the classroom and on and off of the field, Prairie's tradition is built on hard work and dedication. #prairiepride
As we all work together to be PHS: Productive - Healthy - Safe the following are ways that families can support their student and their educational journey...
- Make sure your student attends school daily and arrives on time, ready to learn
- Ensure your student completes assignments and meets deadlines
- Help your student manage their time
- Encourage your student to take courses that build their experiences and love of learning
- Ask your student about their day, so that you are aware of their school life
We are looking forward to an amazing 2021-2022 school year! We are PRAIRIE HAWKS!
Enjoy Every Moment!
