As we continue looking ahead and planning for the future of Prairie Grove 46, we have launched a Community Survey to gather feedback from our families, staff, residents, and community members. Hearing from a broad cross-section of our community is important as we work to understand what is going well, where there are opportunities for improvement, and what matters most to our community. The survey is live and closes on October 19th. Please feel free to share with your neighbors and friends that may not have current students in our district.

The mobile dentist will be returning to PG on October 16th, offering services here at the school for a reduced price. Forms will be sent home with students. Parents can return the paper form or register online at https://www.myschooldentist.com/PGPGIL_schsrm

Just a friendly reminder that students should be mindful of their technology use throughout the school day. Cell phones and smartwatches should not be used to send or receive text messages or phone calls during the school day.

We appreciate your help in reinforcing these expectations with your child and thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep students focused and engaged in learning!

This October, the elementary is celebrating unity month! Check back next week on our kick-off activity!

Acceptance letters have gone out to our students who have been selected to be part of the Student Leadership Team. We look forward to scheduling our first meeting and highlighting these students in future communication! Congratulations to these strong leaders and thank you for helping PGJH ROAR!
