Hello Prairie View Families!

Just like that, back to school and August are a thing of the past! We are in full swing now with school. Your students have done a great job getting back in the routine and things are moving right along! As the fall starts we have alot of things coming up. Our athletics are off to a great start with volleyball and our staff is busy with professional development and planning great things for our students to come. We will have some clubs starting soon, possibly before school, and then our after school program starting with the Boys and Girls Club in October. Our beginning iReady testing is complete and we are working always working to make sure we give our students every opportunity to grow and develop the skills they need academically. Please make sure that all of your communication information is up to date as we will continue to send out updates and messages with important infotmation as it come up. As, always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to myself or your student's teacher with whatever questions you may have. This has been a great start to the year and we look forward to keeping this momentum going!

NPUSC values professional development and our Professional learning community culture. During late start Fridays, teachers met to learn to grow together. At Prairie View, the teachers spend time answering and planning for the following questions together in their teams:

1. What do we want students to learn? (Essential standards)

2. How do we know they’ve learned it? (Common assessment development, scoring and analyzing

3. What do we do if they didn’t learn it? (remediation planning and RTI blocks)

4. What do we do if they do learn? (enrichment and RTI blocks)

In addition, we spend time learning together about new and innovative methods to become the best teaching staff we can be. Thank you for the continued support to allow teachers to grow and learn and be the best they can be for our students!

We are excited to announce that the New Prairie United School Corporation has recently partnered with SmartSocial.com for its on-demand resources for parents and students. SmartSocial covers a wide range of digital and social media topics that we feel are relevant to our students. We have purchased parent memberships for every parent in our district to give you access to these resources and help you learn how to navigate the negative (and positive) parts of social media with your students.
