Moran Prairie Messenger
Weekly Moran Prairie Family and Community Newsletter
The contract for 2022-2025 was ratified by the union on Monday so congratulations and thank you to all the hard working teachers, support staff, union reps, and district employees who worked endless days and nights this summer to put it all together.
Welcome to our new staff member!
Rachel Dunne - 6th Grade
Rachel is excited to be joining the Moran Prairie Community for the 2022-2023 school year. It is going to be a great year! She graduated from Whitworth University with her master’s in teaching and learning during the pandemic! She has worked for Spokane Public Schools for six years, five of those as a substitute teacher and most recently as the 6th grade STEM teacher for Spokane Virtual Academy. She is a mother to two teenage daughters and one very smart dog! She is a Spokane transplant. Rachel moved to Spokane from Northern California seventeen years ago. When there is time her family and she love to go camping and hiking. When the weather runs bad you can find her curled up with a good book or putting together a 1000-piece puzzle.
Principal Updates
Launch Conferences (1st-6th) and WaKids Conferences (Kinder)
Families of students in 1st-6th grade should sign up for a Launch Conference using this link. Conferences are on September 1st and 2nd. There is no class on these days, rather students and families are attending their individual conferences with their teacher. Family help video for signing up.
Kindergarten families will NOT use the above link. They will be signing up for their own conferences with their kindergarten teacher at Orientation on the 25th. Please reach out to me or the office with any questions or problems.
We will also host an open house during the conference time as well. Stay tuned!
