Village of Buffalo Grove Intent to Burn Notification
The Village of Buffalo Grove has informed us that they intend to conduct a controlled burn as part of restoration activities at various wetland and natural preserves in the area.  The intended burn has been scheduled during the window of November 1st – April 30th.  This time frame may change due to weather conditions.  Should the burn occur on a school day, PE classes may remain inside as well as recess periods.

Principal Coffees
As you know, the district will be offering four programs based upon a district level survey given earlier this month.  The first of these presentations, Understanding Elementary Standards-Based Report Cards, will be held at Prairie on November 9th at 6:30pm.  Other topics that will be presented this school year, at dates still to be determined include:  Social-Emotional Learning, 21st-Century Learning, and Standards-Based Reporting (Grades 6–8).

At Prairie, I would also like to offer parents an opportunity to discuss topics of interest at an informal coffee.  Please complete the following survey so that I may best plan to meet your needs.
