Message from the Principal 

As we move into the final week of October, we are starting to see the weather change quickly. We ask families to help ensure students come to school dressed for the elements, especially those who walk to and from school each day. Warm jackets, appropriate footwear, and layers will help students stay comfortable and enjoy outdoor learning and recess throughout the season. 

We are also excited for the start of our upcoming Spirit Week! Our staff have planned a variety of fun themed days, and we hope to see all of our PSS Stars join in the excitement. School spirit is a wonderful way to build community, create lasting memories, and celebrate the positive culture we have at Prairie Sky School. 

Have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to another great week of learning and fun! 🌟

Prairie Sky News   

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. 

Halloween 

On Friday, Oct. 30th, students may dress up. They may wear a costume, but please ensure it includes no masks, nothing gory (eg. blood and fake wounds), no weapons, and no inflatables. It will be a regular day of learning. No treats please and thank you. 

Safety Spotlight:  

The safe arrival and dismissal of our students is a shared responsibility and remains a priority at Prairie Sky School. We ask all families to help by following traffic and parking regulations around the school and by using patience and caution during busy pick-up and drop-off times. Students and families should always use designated crosswalks when crossing streets and avoid crossing between vehicles or in undesignated areas. Drivers are reminded to park legally, avoid stopping in no-parking zones, and follow all posted signage to help maintain clear sightlines and safe traffic flow. By working together and modelling safe habits, we can ensure that every student arrives at school safely and gets home safely each day. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe.

Well-being, leadership and Culture 

This year we have introduced 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 student’s social emotional learning and develop peer-to-peer relationships. 

 October’s theme is BELONGING: “Where do I belong?” 

• Focus Areas: Inclusion, Friendships, Safety, Connection, Positive Relationships, and Community 
• Student Voice Question: What helps you feel included? 

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

CBE Well-being Survey 

Ms. Kennedy began her visits to grade 4-9 classrooms to administer the CBE Well-being Survey. Twice a year students are encouraged to complete surveys to provide feedback to support yearly planning and share their ideas about how we can make PSS a better place for learning, growing and promote a sense of belonging. Please review your MYCBE account to review your demographic forms for surveys.
