Trouble Times

I am sure everyone is watching our country trying to bail out many of our financial institutions but you will be happy to hear we had a great financial highlight this week. Midwest Welding Supply has generously given money to our school for our students. We thank them for their continued support and being part of the Prairieview team.
School has been great this week and with each passing week students seem to settle down into more of a regular routine. Hang in there for you are all doing a great job in keeping up.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

As always this has been a full week, with magazine sales and band conferences -- the building has been hopping. Our first Early Dismissal was perfect thanks to all of you. Now let's have another great week next week. We have Magazine turn-in on Tuesday and picture day on Thursday.
People have been asking me about homework completion and here are a few short ideas that should help. Schedule short periods of work to fit your child's attention span. If she/he has an hour of homework, they can do 30 minutes and then take a break before finishing up. If you are spending an inordinate time doing homework something is wrong because students all have time in the classroom for finishing many assignments. Keep in contact with the teacher if you do spend hours doing homework; she/he should be able to give you a few ideas on how to help your child at home. Have a wonderful weekend and GO Mustangs.

Curriculum NIghts

I would personally like to thank everyone for the wonderful turn-out for all my curriculum nights. It is just wonderful to work in a district where parents are so involved in their child's education. You have shown that you support your child's learning here at school. Just make sure you show your child how connected you are to our school whether it be spending a few minutes going over their handouts and assignment notebooks or having them read out loud or practicing math facts as you are preparing dinner. Remember life doesn't require that we are the best, only that we strive to be the best.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Parent Link

I would first like to thank everyone who attended our Parent Link which was held last night. It was a very informative venue for our new "Response to Intervention" program which is tied to our reading curriculum. We have had a great start this year and everyone has been extremely excited about the 2008-2009 school year.
We are focusing on making this a very healthy year and I will be giving tips on nutrition and your child. Have a terrific weekend remember a full week next week, Mrs. Schultz
