Message from the Principal 

We closed out October in a wonderful way this week with our first Spirit Week of the school year. It was great to see so many students participating in our themed days, whether by wearing pajamas, dressing up in costumes, or simply showing their school spirit. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping make the week such a success. 

This week also highlighted the many extracurricular opportunities available at Prairie Sky School. Students have been actively participating in basketball, wrestling, Foods Club, Running Club, and Chess Club. We are grateful to our staff members who volunteer their time to provide these enriching experiences and to our students for enthusiastically getting involved. 

As we turn the calendar to November, we are excited for another month of learning, growth, and school community. For those families who celebrate Halloween, we wish you a safe and happy Halloween!

From the Office 

Please be advised that school pick-ups after 2:00 p.m. (Friday 11:30 a.m.) will not be accommodated. If your child needs to be picked up early, please ensure that the pick-up takes place before 2:00 p.m. (Friday 11:30a.m.) 

All early pick-ups must also be communicated to the school in advance. Last-minute requests may not be accommodated, as they can disrupt the school day and our regular routines. 

We kindly ask for your cooperation in providing sufficient notice and planning all early pick-ups accordingly.

Well-being, leadership and Culture 

This year we have introduced a CONNECT class for all students K-9. Our goal is to promote a safe, welcoming and caring learning environment focusing on monthly themes that support students’ social emotional learning and develop peer-to-peer relationships. 

November's Connect Theme: DIVERSITY AND ETHICAL SPACE 

Essential Question: How can we learn from and respect different perspectives? 

Theme: Diversity & Ethical Space 
Focus: Respecting Different Perspectives 

Please ask your child to share their experiences and conversations with you.
