Dress Expectations
We are requesting that 3rd-5th graders wear black or white tops and black bottoms. Girls that wear skirts must wear leggings. Also, please stay away from heels for stability purposes.
First and second graders are expected to dress formally, but are not required to wear all black.
Call Times
3rd-5th grade students are expected to be at Urban Prairie at 4:30pm to prepare for the performance.
1st-2nd grade students are expected to be at Urban Prairie at 5:15pm to prepare for the performance.
* If your child stays for aftercare that day, please send a hearty snack for them to eat during aftercare. The school will provide some healthy snacks as well but we want to be sure they are well fed before the concert.
The performance will begin at 6pm and promises to be delightful.
Everyone is invited to enjoy the last day of school. Classes will end at 12:00 p.m. at which time parents can bring their children to a potluck in either the 1st floor hall or at the park.
Zone 5 parking will be waived so you may come in the school to gather your child’s belongings prior to going to the park.
Children must be accompanied by a parent to attend the potluck or they should be picked up at school.
Aftercare is not available.
To preserve the ambiance of the event please refrain from bringing any water toys.
Thank you for a great Jump a Thon. It was so much fun and a great spring day!
You will be receiving the final jump counts for your student via e-mail. Please have them collect and bring or send in all donations by June 6. Families can still use the Crowdrise link for donations or pledge payments.
We have raised $6000 already with donations to Crowdrise and flat donations already turned in. I can’t wait to see what we achieve after our per jump pledges come in.
All families should have received an email from TADS with information about your 2014/15 tuition agreement. All agreements and payment plans must be set up by per the TADS guidelines. If you have any questions, please contact peggy.lofgren@urbanprairie.org
The school calendar is under final review by the faculty. While some dates are set such as the first day of school is always the Tuesday after Labor Day, others are not.
Administration and Faculty is well aware of the recent strain on families to attend multiple events in a relatively short period of time. As we look at 2014-15 calendar, we are reviewing how we can space these events out or combine some events.
We hope to provide the calendar next week.
All student photos were taken last week, and you will be able to view and order them as early as next week. Once available we will provide you with the website to purchase the photos.
The students did a great job and looked wonderful!
We plan to have a yearbook available for preview at the end of year picnic and will have more information available next week, including pricing, order deadlines and pick up dates
Did you get a new school t shirt? They are still available! We’ll have infant/toddler, youth and adult t shirts for sale at the Summer fest and the last day of school, $5 for kids/$10 for adults. Thanks to everyone who already got one!
