Dear Prairie View Families,


We had another fantastic week at Prairie View—two weeks down! Thank you for helping us get the school year off to such a positive start.


As a reminder, families are highly encouraged to use the drop-off line in the morning rather than parking and getting out of their vehicles. If you need to park and walk your child to the entrance, please park on the south side of the building by turning left when you enter the parking lot. Please do not park in the visitor spaces near the front entrance, as this makes it difficult for vehicles entering the drop-off line to move through safely and efficiently.


Thank you for helping our morning arrival run smoothly! After two full weeks to start the school year, we are all looking forward to the long weekend. I hope your family enjoys a wonderful and relaxing three-day weekend!


Sincerely,

Valerie Vos
Principal, Prairie View Elementary

MASD Pilot Viewing Night MASD Pilot Viewing Night

MASD is offering parents and community members the opportunity to view curricular materials that are under consideration for adoption beginning in the 2027-28 school year for 5K-Grade 2 English Language Arts and 5K-Grade 5 at Eagleville.


During the 2026-27 school year, we will be piloting and reviewing new materials in some of our classrooms at the Kindergarten-2nd grade level, as well as grades 3-5 at Eagleville. The district has chosen two resources to pilot: Amplify CKLA and the revised version of Superkids (our current resource). Eagleville is also piloting Benchmark Advance in the upper grades.


The viewing session will be Thursday, September 10, 2026 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the district office (385 E. Veterans Way). There will be a short presentation starting at 6:00 p.m. with viewing of materials following after. Registration is not required.

Parent Notification for Minor Health Room Visits Parent Notification for Minor Health Room Visits

New this year, parents will receive an automatic notification via Infinite Campus Messenger when their child is in the health room at some point during the school day. Parents will not be notified if this is a scheduled medication or treatment.


However, parents will still be called, as normal, if your child receives a head bump, major injury, is too sick to remain in school, or has an urgent need. For reasons your child may be too sick to remain in school, please check out this Too Sick for School document from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.


Please contact your child’s school health room with any questions.
