South Prairie School District - Home of the Royals

Students in grades 5-11: Are you proud to be a Royal? Know how things are done at South Prairie School? Good at talking with people? If so, you can apply to be a Royal Rep!! Royal Reps will meet and help new students at South Prairie School as well as participate in some fun group activities during the year. To apply to be a member of Royal Reps you need to be in Middle or High school next year, that means current 5th graders through 11th graders may apply. Pick up your application in Ms. Palczewski’s or Mrs. Dobrinski’s room (218/219) or in the HS office. Completed applications are due to Ms. Palczewski or Mrs. Dobrinski by 3:30pm April 8th.

Junior High dance for 6-8th grade students is tomorrow in the SP elementary gym from 6:30-8:30pm.

Cost is $2 for pre sale tickets at lunchtime or $4 at the door. Also, we are still in need of two chaperones for the dance. If you are able to help, please call Mrs. Cooper ASAP. Thank you so much.

Here is some information for parents as we plan the calendar for next year: As a school district we are contracted with the teachers for 175 days of instruction. When looking at a school calendar we attempt to start the 1st week of sporting activities competition. Next year, football will start practice on August 3rd with the 1st game on the 19th. Volleyball will start practice on the 15th and girls golf will start on August 1st. We attempt to not do early releases for staff training as we know and understand that it creates child care issues. When a staff training is scheduled, we try to do it before the year starts or in line with a holiday (Presidents Day is a staff inservice day). This year was the 1st year where we have scheduled a full week of spring break. As we plan for next year, please take some time to complete this survey and give us feedback on your preference for the length of spring break. https://forms.office.com/r/ehFPYLdF67 *Please only complete one survey per family.
