Halloween Party






We are almost done with the 1st month of the Shopping 4 Schools program at The Promenade Bolingbrook and the initial results have been posted. We are in 10th place, out of 20 schools, for a share of $10,000! This is great news, since we are new to the program and just getting started.
Thanks to everyone for “liking” the Promenade on Facebook, writing a comment about how Prairieview students love to shop there, shopping at Promenade stores and turning in your receipts. Every little bit helps as we compete against the other 19 schools for our share of the money.
If you still have receipts for purchases made in October (remember, this includes all stores and restaurants within the Promenade including Bass Pro Shops) but haven’t turned in your receipts yet, please do so by Friday, October 28th. October is double points month, so we get 10 points for every dollar you spend. Receipts will be returned to you if you write your students name and teacher on the back.
Please help support this important fundraiser for the Center Cass #66 schools!




We were lucky enough to have a wonderful sunny day for our Halloween Party which of course was a wonderful success. Students and teachers all dressed for the party which made it even more festival.





I hope you all have a great and safe weekend, Principal Schultz

Where's October Gone ?

Can you believe we are halfway through October. We have already had a teacher institute when my teachers either went away for a conference or worked in the building differentiating for our students in all our subjects.






Today we also had a bullying assembly which reminded our students what to do when they are bullied and what to do when they see someone bullied. They all did a great job. Make sure you ask your children about the assembly. Try to always engage your children to talk about their experiences. Ask them, "What was your favorite part of the day;" or "What was your favorite part of today's assembly." Talking now will certainly pay off later as they get older and you still want them to confide in you.


Have a wonderful week, Principal Schultz

October is here !


This has to be my favorite month and also my dogs ! All our students are finally in the swing of school and we have many exciting things happening here. Like our field trips, movie nights, bingo nights way to many to mention here. but will be communicated every week through our weekly reminders.


First let me thank everyone who contributed to our magazine drive. Prairieview did a little less than last year but we are thankful to all of you who helped support our program.
Now, a little tip which I think happens at the perfect time. With the onset of colder weather this is the perfect time to build your child's attention span. Have your students focus on one activity while sitting at a table or desk for at least 15 minutes. They can draw, practice handwriting, read or write a story.......anything that motivates them to pay attention. Practicing like this will start to get them used to doing homework which we all know can be a struggle for all of us. Have a great weekend and enjoy the dry but cold weather. Principal Schultz
