Good Afternoon Prairie Families,
Thank you to all the families who attended our fall conferences this week. We hope that having the option of an in-person conference or a virtual conference made it easier for you to meet with your child’s teacher. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, October 9. We look forward to seeing the students back at school Tuesday morning.
Have a fantastic long weekend!
Ms. Lauren Delahanty

NEW *Picture Retakes*
Prairie's retake day is scheduled for Thursday, November 9th. Students requesting a retake should bring their original picture package to the photographer. The picture package will be reprinted with the retake image. If a student prepaid for the original shoot, but was absent, the order is still pending and will be applied to the image taken on Retake Day.
REPEAT *Halloween Costumes*
Our Halloween festivities will be here before we know it. We look forward to students dressing in their Halloween costumes for our Halloween Parade and classroom parties on Tuesday, Oct. 31st. Please help us with the following costume guidelines. Students will change into their costumes after their lunch period at school. Please ensure that your child can get the costume on with no or minimal help.
Costumes must be appropriate for school. If costumes are not school-appropriate the student will be asked to remove their costume.
- Please no masks, blood, super scary stuff, general ickiness, or weapons
- Please no cigars or cigarette items
- Please no bare tummies
- Please keep hair coloring and make-up simple
