Say “hello” to even more messaging and announcements in the Royals app! 📱
Parents/guardians check your email with instructions to sign up and access new features. Or, head right to the Royals app, choose "Classrooms" at the bottom right, and sign in to view your children's classrooms.
Thank you to everyone for participating and getting signed in as we launch this update before the end of the year! We look forward to this being a very helpful communication tool for the future, and we chose to start rolling it out now so it's not brand new to everyone at the start of next school year.
Once you're signed in, you'll be able to see weekly posts and end of the year notes from your child's teacher for this school year! After this year, teachers plan to use the Classrooms feature for class announcements, reminders, and to communicate with parents when needed!

North Dakota State Folkstyle Wrestling is in the books!
Over the March 28th weekend, several South Prairie athletes, wrestling with the Dakota Rattlers, proudly represented South Prairie School at the North Dakota State Tournament and Duals — bringing home individual and dual state placements against the best in the state!

Croix Lockrem & Nash Lozensky – Helped their team earn an impressive 4th place finish.
K-6th Large Dual Team:
Brenley Sandstrom, Finn Lockrem, & Easton Lockrem – Contributed to a hard-fought 3rd place team finish.
ND State Individual Tournament Results:
Croix Lockrem – 6th Place in 8U 49lbs

Easton Lockrem – 4th Place in 12U 82lbs
Additionally, Finnley Lockrem, Nash Lozensky, and Maddox Braaten had strong performances, competing well and just shy of placing.
Also, Brenley and Landon Sandstrom had the honor of representing Team North Dakota in April at the national duals! Both wrestled exceptionally to help each of their teams with an outstanding 4th place finish among some of the best elementary youth dual teams across the nation. Congratulations to both of them for representing North Dakota!
Interested? Never tried it before? No problem. Many of our wrestlers were brand new not long ago.
We’d love to see more South Prairie kids step onto the mat and discover what they’re capable of!

Congratulations to 7th grader, Emma Erickson, on being named a 2025-2026 Middle School State Student Council Representative. She ran against 19 other middle school students from across the state at the state conference today and yesterday! Her platform of finding ways for schools to help students in need was very positive and inspirational. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes as a state rep throughout the next year!
The middle school state convention is held yearly and brings students together to learn more about leadership, make positive connections, and elect new board members. Great job to all of the awesome middle school class officers who attended and were great representatives of South Prairie School!
