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 8th, 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.

Please take the time to review our drop off and pick up procedures. 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

Each month a reading calendar will come home in your child's yellow folder. We do not typically assign “homework” in elementary school, but we do encourage at least 20 minutes of reading each night because research shows that establishing a positive reading routine will give children a huge academic advantage.

Students who return their reading calendars at the end of the month will receive a prize!

An additional copy of the reading calendar can be found HERE.

Students should be up to date with vaccines by the 30th day of school, October 14th.

HERE is a flyer outlining elementary requirements.

Please have your student wear closed toe and closed heel shoes to school. Sandals and crocs are not appropriate footwear for recess and gym.

ALL children should have a complete change of clothes in their cubby in the event of any type of accident.

It is still tick season! Please check your children daily and remove ticks as soon as possible.

As students come back together, please monitor your child for any excessive head itching or complaints of itching. Please check their head/hair regularly and contact the school nurse if any lice are found.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us!
