Principal's Corner
Dear Indian Prairie Families,
As we transition back from the winter break, I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones experienced numerous occasions to foster meaningful connections, engage in complete relaxation, and achieve a thorough sense of rejuvenation.
As we embark upon the New Year, it is important to recognize the challenges that can accompany the return to routine following a two-week break. This transition can be demanding for both adults and children. I encourage your review morning and after-school routines. Allocating extra time this week for school preparations can ease the process.
At school, we will be reaffirming our expectations and values. We kindly invite you to join us in reminding our students to embrace the principles of being PACK (Peaceful, Attentive, Cooperative, and Kind). Your support and collaboration in fostering a positive and nurturing environment are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Warm regards,
Ms. Tammo Nelson
Principal, Indian Prairie
