Welcome Back!
We have had a great start to the year! We are so happy to see all of our students' faces and look forward to growing with them throughout the year.
As the significant road work on Route 14 continues, our transportation company is reminding everyone that pick up and drop off delays are to be expected, and may change from week to week. Make sure to download the My Ride K-12 app, which follows the bus in real time and can help prepare you for schedule adjustments on a given day.

Welcome (back!?) to Prairie
Why hello there, fellow Prairie Parents - it’s looking like another fabulous year with the Prairie PTO!

Save the Date for the 6th Grade Party on the Prairie
The 6th grade Party on the Prairie will take place on Friday, September 12th, immediately after school until 5 PM. Students will enjoy snacks, games and music while getting to know their classmates IRL (or as the parental units say, “in real life”). More information and volunteer links will be sent out soon!
