Thank you to the Indian Prairie family for your unwavering commitment to the safety of our students. I appreciate your adherence to our parking lot guidelines, which play a crucial role in keeping our students safe. Your efforts have contributed to smoother traffic flow.
We are grateful for your understanding in not parking in front of the building, as it is designated for quick 30-second drop-offs only. Thank you for safely parking when you wish to accompany your child and for assisting them in crossing the road.
As we transition into October and the winter months, I want to emphasize the continued importance of these practices. Thank you for prioritizing student safety.
Warm regards,
Ms. Tammo Nelson
Principal, Indian Prairie
Count Day and Pajama Day on October 1st
As we approach October 1st, we want to remind everyone that this day is designated as Count Day. It is crucial for students to be present in school and arrive on time, as attendance plays a significant role in our funding and overall school success.
In addition to Count Day, we are excited to announce that it will also be Pajama Day! Students are encouraged to wear their favorite pajamas to school, adding a fun and relaxed atmosphere to the day.
Furthermore, we will be celebrating students who have demonstrated perfect attendance for the month of September. If your child had perfect attendance, they will be recieving a certificate to celebrate this accomplishment.
Thank you for supporting our KPS attendance policy
