Mindset Tuesday

Prairie staff is meeting today to prepare for E-learning. Thank you to the staff and community for your flexibility during this time.

Monday Mindset

Dear Parents and Guardians, When we left school a week ago for spring break not many of us thought we would be saying goodbye for over a month. The Corona Virus has definitely altered the course of the school year among other things. Our community is made up of hard working families and I have no doubt that as a community we can turn this challenge into an opportunity. Our staff has been training on blended learning (E-Learning and Distance Learning) for the past two years and we are ahead of the curve for facing a situation such as this one. Will it be perfect? Doubtful. Will we need to tweak it as we go to better suit students and their families? Absolutely! Communication will be key to the success of this program. Let's work together for our students. Let's set the bar for how schools, students, and communities can persevere in the face of this adversity.  I will be emailing out more information today. If you are not getting emails from me, please email me at tpiel@prairieschool.org right away.

Friday Mindset

Prairie School Nutrition Services:Prairie School will offer both breakfast and lunch for any child up to 18 years old- free of charge.  Bagged meals will be available for pickup in a "Grab and Go" drive-through style for families to pick up and take home.  The pick-up point will be at two locations. One of the locations will be at Stoneham Community Building from 10:00-10:15 and the second location will be at the New Raymer Community building from 10:45-11:00. The meals will begin on Monday, March 23, and again on Wednesday, March 25, at the same time. The Monday/Wednesday schedule will continue until school resumes.  You can remain in your car and staff will get the food to you.  There will be enough in the bags for two days for breakfast and 2 days for lunch. We would like to get an idea of how many will take advantage of the breakfast and lunch so we know how much food to prepare.  Please email Tabitha Piel at  tpiel@prairieschool.org to let me know if you would like to pick up food, which location, and how many children at your earliest convenience? If families are in need of lunches and breakfasts that do not live in our area, they may go to the following website to see the meals that are provided for students at different locations: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=eaae70d787a643b59359fe09e99b88d1   Thank you,
