Registration Forms Past Due

A link to the online registration form was sent out two weeks ago and was due Friday, May 23. If you haven't yet, please complete the enrollment registration at this link. Each family needs to submit an enrollment registration form each year for each student, including returning families. Please understand that we are required by the state to collect certain data each year. Last year's registration does not carry over. In addition, our funding is based on enrollment. If we do not receive your registration, we reserve the right to offer your student's place to the next family on the waitlist or a new applicant.

Swag coming soon!

Our preliminary PPCS swag design is released! The lovely quail design captures the pillars of PPCS and EL learning and was created by Jazmine Broadman, graduating 8th grader. We hope to have an 8th grade design released every year. The throwback tote was designed by 1st grade dad Andy Pritiken. The other wonderful design options were created by Erika Larsen's 3rd grade class. Stock up today at https://ppcs.spiritsale.com/.

We plan to have shirts and stickers for sale at Gallery Night on June 3rd including the famous limited edition pickle sticker (hot off the press)! A larger online store will be developed this summer. A big thanks to the swag, fundraising committee, and parent crew for making this opportunity possible. To join one of our committees, please email me at lheinse@palouseprairieschool.org We are CREW!

Gallery Night & MOD Pizza Fundraiser, June 3rd

Gallery Night and MOD Pizza Night

June 3rd is Gallery Night at PPCS. We will start with awards and presentations at 5:30pm in the MPR, followed by a gallery walk through the classrooms at 5:45pm. Gallery Night is a celebration of learning. Celebrations of learning are hosted by EL Schools to both celebrate the accomplishment of students and for parents and community members to understand the work of the school. Unlike schools in which parents come to an open house only to see the work of their own children, these celebrations are organized so that visitors are introduced to the work of students and classrooms throughout the school – reinforcing the notion of a school culture and community – and the common mission and structures of the school. Students will take you on a journey of their spring expedition through document panels and showcases of the learning process.

MOD Pizza Night

Celebrate the amazing things your student has done all year after Gallery Night with MOD Pizza!! Palouse Prairie will receive 25% of fundraiser sales* during this fundraiser. Participate on June 3, 2025 by ordering online using the code MODGIVES25 or by visiting this MOD location and showing the fundraiser flyer (in backpacks Friday), or mentioning the fundraiser at checkout. See you there!!

Last Day and Graduation

June 4 is the last day of school with an early release at 1:30 pm. Eighth grade graduation will be in the multipurpose room at 6pm. Come celebrate this milestone with our graduates and wish them well as they transition to high school!
