Our PTO wants all of our students in Grades 3-5 to rock the test. They are asking for your help. They need healthy snacks to get them through this important testing time. Our PTO has graciously offered to provide the perishable items (like bananas and cuties ~ thank you, PTO!).

If you are curious or would like to sign up for an item (or two), simply click the CMAS logo above. The link will take you directly to the sign up genius. There are only a few items still unspoken for, so please take a moment and check it out. Thank you, everyone!

We are running a fundraiser at Prairie Center's Red Robin this Wednesday, March 27th. This will be a class contest. How will this work? Simple! Place your order, save your receipt for your order, write your student’s teacher name on the top of the receipt and send it into school the next day. Envelopes will be provided to each teacher to collect them in. If you have multiple children, please write both teacher names on top and both classes will receive credit. Only one receipt to one teacher and both classes will receive credit. Whichever class brings in the most receipts wins a donut party! The money raised from this event will go towards the End of the Year Celebration!

Thank you.

Students who arrive after the 7:50AM tardy bell MUST be signed in at the front office by an adult, for safety purposes. Tardies will only be excused for legitimate reasons such as appointments, emergencies or illness. Excuses such as "just late", sleeping in, missing the bus etc. do NOT constitute excused tardies. Students who are late to school should bring a note from their parent or guardian or be signed in when they arrive.
