For parent pick up and drop off, all students and parents should remain in their cars before and after school until our staff begins the drop off/pick up process. Parents may simply turn into the front main parking lot and line the sidewalk to the right. The line will continue down 700N and loop into our back parking lot.

We ask that after school, parents who are picking up do not pull into the area specifically designated for buses. We will have staff out there directing students and making sure the busses have enough room to clear and start their routes.

If you are picking up your student early for an appointment, you may park, enter the building, and sign out your student. For all other pickups, we ask that you remain in your vehicle. We will not be able to have parents waiting in the office due to all of the duties our office ladies need to complete at the end of the day with calls, radio traffic, bus communication, and making sure each and every student is accounted for. We appreciate your cooperation with this.

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.
