Congratulations to all our students who participated in Prairie's annual talent show. During this truly enjoyable evening, students performed instrumental pieces, dances, comedy routines, and Tae Kwon Do forms just to name a few of the performances. Thank you to the students for your hard work in preparing for the evening, to the parents and other family members for attending, and to Mr. Nagle for his hard work in getting everything orchestrated.
Our incoming first grade students enjoyed visiting Prairie on Thursday! Our future Prairie students took a tour of the building and listened to a story read by Mr. Vanderwerff in the library. They also spent time in the cafeteria learning the ropes for the exciting new experience of eating lunch at school. It was a really fun afternoon!
From Mrs. Evans, School Nurse...
Please remember to stop in the health office to pick up your
child’s medication. Illinois school code
requires that I dispose of this medication if not returned to the parents at
the end of every school year. Thank you so much for your cooperation, and have a healthy, safe, and relaxing summer.
Report Cards & MAP Report
Students' report cards and yearly MAP assessment results will be sent home with your child on the last day of school. As you recall, all grade levels are reporting on individual targets in this trimester rather than an overall category. Your child's report card will provide a more detailed account of your child's strengths and opportunities for growth, rather than an overall performance level.
Summer Vacation Postcards
Summer Vacation Postcards
Where ever your summer travels take you, whether it's a stay-cation, summer camp, or a trip around the globe, please encourage your child to send a postcard to Prairie sharing their summer experiences. We plan to read vacation postcards, chosen from the Prairie School mailbox, during morning announcements throughout September. After postcards are read, they will be displayed in the Multipurpose Room. Postcards can be sent to Prairie School, 1530 Brandywyn Lane, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089.
Flagpole Assembly
Our annual Flagpole Assembly will close the school year on Thursday, June 7th. Please plan to join your child(ren) around the flagpole at 9:05am to sing our school song, hug good friends, wish our 5th graders the best of luck at Twin Groves, and head into summer vacation. We hope to see you there!
