Free Bookstore
We're thrilled to share that the district purchased books to expand every student's library! Every District 47 school will have a "free bookstore" allowing students to shop and choose 2-3 books of their choice. English and Spanish books are available. This initiative, paid for by ESSER funds, aims to empower students by giving them the opportunity to choose books that interest them, igniting a lifelong love for reading. Book shopping at these free bookstores will continue throughout May. Chat with your child about their book selections!
Spirit Wear Donations
Our school district has been engaging in Deep Equity work this year. Part of this work is to ensure equal access and opportunities for all students.
Our team has been brainstorming ways to help students feel more connected and included at Indian Prairie. We thought ensuring that all students had access to spirit wear might be a good place to start.
We are asking families to donate any gently used Indian Prairie spirit wear that their children have outgrown to the school office. The school office will keep the spirit wear on hand and distribute it to families that may not have the ability to purchase new spirit wear for their students.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

School will soon be over for the 2023-2024 year. Please make arrangements to pick up any medications and supplies that may be in the health office prior to 10:30 am, on May 24th, 2024. Any medication or supplies that are left in the health office after that time will be discarded. Please call if I can be of any assistance.
