Dear Prairie Trace Families,
The staff at Prairie Trace had a great first week with your children. The students joined us with a positive attitude, ready to learn, and make a strong IMPACT on our Prairie Trace community! We know this is going to be an awesome year filled with great opportunities to learn and engage!
Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to:
-
Reduce stress
-
Make it easier to connect with friends and teachers
-
Support learning
Please make sure you are communicating any absences, late arrivals, and early pickups with the office via School Dismissal Manager and your classroom teacher. Also, it is best if appointments can be made outside of the school day or during your child’s lunch and recess time. As per CCS policy student pick ups should not occur after 2 pm..
If you are a parent of a walker, please do not park on Haverton Road to pick up your child. Buses have a hard time getting through, and this becomes very dangerous for our students. Thank you!
We have many events coming up in the near future, so please mark your calendars:

Sincerely,
Kim Piper
Principal
