Dear South Prairie Families and Staff,   We want to inform you that on Thursday, April 17th, the day before Easter break, South Prairie School will have an early dismissal at 2:00 p.m. Buses will run at 2:10 p.m.   We apologize for the short notice. This schedule adjustment will allow our staff to receive training on a new communication tool designed to streamline parent-teacher communication. This new tool will provide families with a centralized hub for all school-related communication, eliminating the need to track multiple apps for important updates and information.   If your child participates in extracurricular activities, please check with their coach or advisor for any schedule updates.   If you have any other questions regarding early dismissal or after-school arrangements, please contact the school office.   Thank you for your understanding and support.   South Prairie School Administration

South Prairie School is planning to show off our school pride by adding more branding of our logo and school spirit throughout the hallways and entrances. We also added a TouchPros interactive board that would allow people to search through school history, class pictures, extra-curricular achievements, etc. This will be a great way to keep the history and success of our school alive and easily accessible for people! If you would like to donate to this school branding project and TouchPros board, you can do so in-person, in the high school office, or by mail. For more information on donating, and to see pictures and more details about the project, please view the page on our website: https://www.south-prairie.k12.nd.us/page/branding-touchpro
