Dear Families - Read on for the News

Spring Break is Coming!

There is no school March 13-17. Happy Spring!

Engagement Survey

Each year Idaho and Palouse Prairie collect valuable information through our student and family engagement survey. The survey takes only a few minutes and your responses are anonymous, and they will be critical to helping us find ways to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication. Please fill out this important survey. Parent Survey Link

Achievement Reports

You will soon be receiving Achievement Reports (AR's) in the mail. We adopted a new grading platform and have encountered some hiccups through this first implementation. Therefore they are getting to you a bit later than they typically would. Thank you for your patience and understanding. As we roll out the new platform, there will be many beneficial features to families such as the ability to access grades and progress throughout the year. We will let you know when this feature is available to you.

Blood Drive

We hope you will take part in the PPCS blood drive! Come to the Best Western in Moscow on March 20th, 12-6 PM. If you miss this opportunity, we are planning another blood drive in September. Not only does giving blood help those in need, it also helps us qualify for a $2,000 STEM grant from Vitalant! Click on this link to sign up. Questions about the blood drive? Contact Board Member Lauren Crawford at lcrawford@palouseprairieschool.org.

Morning Drop Off

We understand that some students are dropped off on Southview St. and walking down to the school grounds. It has been brought to our attention that cars are stopping in the middle of the street and letting their students out, causing some near accidents. Please drop off your students in the front parking lot where we have staff members to assist. If you continue to drop off your students on Southview St., please pull completely over to the side before you let your students out of the car. Thank you for keeping the safety of all students your highest priority.

CopyCat Cinema

PPCS students and families are invited to participate in the CopyCat Cinema competition at the Kenworthy on March 16. Participants will submit 2-3 minute videos that reenact or re-interpret one scene from the movie, Hook, starring Robin Williams.

The first prize winner will receive $500 cash! The second and third prizes are gift certificates for a full family meal at Maialina and Casa Lopez. An audience choice award will come with the prize of a free weekday rental at the Kenworthy, where the winners can host their own private movie night or party!

The full submission details are available in the following Google link. The deadline for entries is March 13 at 11:59 PM. There is no cost to submit or attend.
