This Week at PRMS
November 13, 2026
Hello families,
As autumn settles in and the temperatures begin to dip, we wanted to take a moment to share a few updates and reminders to help keep our school community healthy, safe, and active!
Dressing for the Weather We believe that outdoor fresh air and daily play are essential for our students' physical and mental well-being. Unless there is extreme weather or heavy precipitation, our students go outside for recess every single day.
With the cooler weather here, please ensure your child comes to school prepared for the outdoor elements. We recommend dressing in layers so students can adjust comfortably throughout the day. Please remember to send your child with:
A warm jacket or coat
Hats and gloves/mittens
Boots and snow pants (when the snow arrives!)
Tip: Please label all jackets, hats, and gloves with your child's first and last name. Our Lost & Found fills up quickly this time of year, and labels help us return missing items to their rightful owners right away!
Staying Healthy & Hydrated Along with cooler temperatures, this season often brings seasonal bugs. You can help us keep our classrooms healthy by reminding your children to wash their hands frequently and practice good hygiene habits. Additionally, even though it’s cooler outside, kids still get thirsty during activity. Please keep sending a refillable water bottle to school.
Attendance Matters!
Regular attendance is key to a successful school year. If your child is going to be absent, please remember to call the main office as early as possible to notify us. Letting us know in advance or on the morning of the absence helps us ensure every student is accounted for and safe. You can contact Mrs. Wien 231-829-3141, option 2. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!
-Mrs. Vanderhoof
