PV Bobcat Bulletin

Hello Prairie View Families!

I hope that October was a great month for you all with lots of fun family and friend festivities! Our students and staff enjoyed a lot of Fall and Halloween fun, along with a lot more hard work!! Our boys basketball team is off and running with their season, Lego Robotics is chugging right along, and Spell Bowl is working hard for their upcoming competition. We have had some before school student clubs meeting to learn and experiment with gardening and sewing, and will have the Boys and Girls Club after school program starting next week! Needless to say, Prairie View is the place to be! Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders completed their first ILEARN Checkpoint assessments and continue to show how much they are learning and growing! As the holiday season approaches, there will be more fun and learning going on, as well as opportunities to help those in need. If you would like to be a part of those opportunities, keep an eye out for information from Mr. Flanagan. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to any of our Prairie View staff and we will work with you however you need.

Sincerely,

Mr. Kris Staats

Principal

Students have E-Learning

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.
