🚨 Morning Drop-Off Safety Reminder 🚨
To ensure the safety of all students during morning arrival, we ask for your cooperation with the following drop-off procedures:
* Use the circle drive only for quick drop-off. Please remain in your vehicle and do not park in the circular drive at any time.
* If you use the parking lot, you must park in a designated stall. Children should exit the vehicle only after you have parked.
* All students walking from the parking lot must use the crosswalk to safely reach the school building.
* Do not use the parking lot as a drive-through drop-off area without parking your vehicle.
Morning drop-off can be chaotic, and student safety is our number one priority. Following these procedures helps keep traffic moving smoothly and, most importantly, keeps our students safe. A photo is attached for your reference about the circle drive and parking stalls.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school community safe.

Dear Prairie View Elementary Students and Families,
We are excited to welcome everyone back to school on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, as we begin the second semester together! We hope your winter break was filled with rest, joy, and time with family and friends.
As we return, we do so with renewed energy and a continued commitment to our Culture of Confidence—a place where every student feels safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. The second semester is a fresh start and a new opportunity to learn, connect, and thrive.
At our school, we focus on GROW:
Grit – showing perseverance, even when learning feels challenging
Risk-Taking – trying new things, asking questions, and learning from mistakes
Ownership – taking responsibility for our learning, behavior, and choices
When students believe in themselves and know they are supported by caring adults and families, amazing things happen. Together, we will continue to build confidence, celebrate effort, and help every student reach their potential.
Thank you, families, for your continued partnership and support. We are looking forward to a strong, successful, and joyful second semester—together.
Welcome back! Let’s make 2026 a great year of learning and growth!
With Appreciation,
Mr. Slama
Principal

As part of 4th-grade science learning, students explored engineering and space science by designing their own space shuttles and then testing them. They analyzed both internal and external damage, using strong science vocabulary, hands-on investigation, and collaboration to explain what happened and why. Real-world problem-solving at its best!
After years of supporting our kindergarten students with endless kindness and dedication, it was time to spoil her a little. What better way than a chair to match her famous blue hair? We are so grateful for you, Ms. Dorris!
