Dear Parent or Guardian,
It’s hard to believe it’s already April 17th; time is certainly flying this year. While many of us are thankful
the weather is becoming more Spring-like, we have many reasons, as a school, to be thankful.
One of the many reasons we have to be thankful for this year is the hard work of our Parent Teacher
Organization. Every year, members of our PTO selflessly give of their time and resources to improve
our school. This year is certainly no different. One on-going goal of our PTO is to build a sense of
community between home and school. They have strived to do just that by providing inexpensive, fun
evenings for the families of Prairieiview. This year we were treated to a movie night, a bingo night, a
fall festival and a weekend bowling outing. Our PTO continually supports all families by donating
money to fund field trip opportunities and offset costs associated with those experiences. They have
organized and provided engaging, learning opportunities for the students of Prairieview through the use
of assemblies and our upcoming Discovery Day. Finally, they have committed to continue to support
our school’s efforts to increase technology integration by purchasing iPads to use in the classrooms.
As a school, we cannot thank the PTO members enough for their continued support of the students,
families and teachers of Prairieview School. If this sounds like a group you would be interested in
learning more about, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the PTO. Your involvement with
this group would be greatly appreciated and ensure the PTO’s ability to continue to support the
students of Prairieview. Their contact information can be found on the accompanying newsletter.
Springtime is also a time we see an increase in our before and after school traffic, which means it’s a
great time to reiterate our arrival and dismissal procedures to ensure the safety of our children. We ask
for your support in the following areas:
Car Riders/Parking- Children should arrive at school between 7:50 and 8:00. When dropping off or
picking up your child in the turnaround, please stay in your car, pull-up as far as possible, and form
two lanes. If you drop off or pick up your child at the main doors, please park your car in the visitor lot
and walk your child between the school’s entrance and your vehicle. There is no parking in the
turnaround during or after school hours. It serves as an emergency lane and is for moving vehicles
only. Please do not block the handicap parking areas or the parking lot entrances.
Bus Riders- Please review the bus rules and procedures with your children. At bus stops children
should stay off the road and remain on the sidewalk while waiting for the bus.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call (847) 543-4230.
Sincerely,
Vince Murray

Estimados Padres o Tutores Legales,
Es difícil creer que ya es el 17 de abril, el tiempo ha volado ciertamente este año. Mientras que muchos de
nosotros estamos muy agradecidos que el clima está tratando de ser más primaveral, tenemos muchas otras
razones en nuestra escuela de estar agradecidos.
Una de las muchas cosas a las que tenemos que agradecer este año es el duro trabajo de nuestra Organización
de Padres y Maestros (PTO por sus siglas en ingles). Cada año, los miembros de nuestro PTO
desinteresadamente dan de su tiempo y recursos para mejorar nuestra escuela. Este año, sin duda no es
diferente. Uno de los objetivos de nuestra PTO es construir un sentido de comunidad entre el hogar y la escuela.
Ellos se han esforzado para hacer precisamente eso, proporcionando noches de diversión para las familias de
Prairieiview. Este año hicieron las Noches de Película, Bingo, y la visita al centro de boliche. Ellos apoyan
continuamente a todas las familias con la donación de dinero para financiar oportunidades de viaje y compensar
los costos asociados con estas experiencias. Han organizado y siempre actividades que proveen oportunidades
de aprendizaje para los estudiantes de Prairieview a través del uso de las asambleas y el Día del Descubrimiento
(Discovery Day). Por último, se han comprometido a seguir apoyando los esfuerzos de nuestra escuela para
aumentar la integración de la tecnología mediante la compra de IPads para su uso en las aulas.
Como escuela, no podemos agradecer a los miembros del PTO lo suficientes por su continuo apoyo a los
estudiantes, familias y maestros de la Escuela de Prairieview. Si esto suena como un grupo que usted estaría
interesado en aprender más sobre, por favor no dude en ponerse en contacto con cualquier miembro del PTO.
Su participación en este grupo sería muy apreciada y nos garantizaría la capacidad de que esta organización
continúe apoyando a los estudiantes de Prairieview. La información de contacto se puede encontrar en el boletín
adjunto.
La primavera es también un tiempo en que vemos un aumento de tráfico escolar en la llegada y salida de los
estudiantes. Esto significa que es un gran tiempo para reiterar nuestros procedimientos de llegada y salida para
asegurar la seguridad de nuestros niños. Pedimos su apoyo en las áreas siguientes:
•
Estudiantes que Viajan en Carro/Estacionamiento- Los niños deben llegar a la escuela entre las 7:50
y 8:00. Cuando deje o recoja a su hijo en la vuelta, por favor quédese en su auto, acérquese en la curva
lo mas lejos que le sea posible, y formando dos carriles. Si usted deja o recoge a su niño en las
puertas principales, por favor estacione su carro en el lote de visitantes y camine a su hijo(a) a la entrada
de la escuela. No hay ningún estacionamiento en el giro durante o después del horario escolar.
Sirve como un carril de emergencia y es para mover sólo los vehículos. Por favor no bloquee las
entradas de impedidos o las zonas de estacionamiento.
•
Estudiantes que Viajan en Autobuses- Por favor, revise las normas y procedimientos del autobús con
sus hijos. En las paradas de autobús los niños deben mantenerse fuera de la carretera y permanecer en
la acera mientras esperan el autobús. Por favor, no se ofenda si un miembro del personal ofrece
recordatorios durante la llegada y el despido. Estos procedimientos son necesarias para mantener la
seguridad de nuestros estudiantes.
Como siempre, si tiene alguna duda o pregunta, no dude en llamar al (847) 543-4230.
Sinceramente.

Cool Tool
Initiative means: motivated to do things, to act or take
charge before others do, take action without being told
PURPOSE OF THE LESSON/WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
1. Shows others that you respect them and your surroundings
2. Shows that you are driven and motivated to be responsible
TEACHING EXAMPLES
1. You just finished eating dinner with your family. You notice the pile of dirty
dishes in the sink. You can demonstrate initiative by washing, rinsing or
drying the dishes without being asked.
2. You just get home from school and know you have homework that needs
to be done. You can demonstrate initiative by sitting down in a quiet spot
and getting started with being asked.
3. You are looking for some new books to check out at the library. You
notice some books scattered on the floor. You can demonstrate initiative
by picking the books up and returning them to the correct location.
When we show initiative we make others and ourselves feel
1. important
2. cared for
3. proud

Dear Parents,
Our school is participating in a fun summer reading project: the Scholastic Summer
Reading Challenge, featuring Read for the World Record. The Summer Reading Challenge
unites students from around the globe in an attempt to set a new world record for most
minutes read this summer!
Studies show that kids who read over the summer maintain the reading skills developed
during the school year. This summer-long reading campaign is designed to motivate all
children to read more so they maintain and improve their academic skills.
The world record attempt begins May 4 and concludes September 4, 2015. The total
logged reading minutes, along with the top 20 schools, will be published in the 2016 edition
of the Scholastic Book of World Records.
Here are a few simple ways to help your child become a record-breaking reader:
• Set a goal together and encourage reading throughout the summer with library
visits, story time at home, and conversations about books. Let your child see you
reading.
• Encourage your child to participate and track reading minutes either with a paper
log or online at www.scholastic.com/summer. It’s a kid-friendly, safe online
community where students can be part of a record-setting global team, log
reading minutes, and enjoy activities geared for all ages.
• Track our school’s reading progress at www.scholastic.com/summer.
• Download summer reading booklists chosen specifically for your child’s age at
www.scholastic.com/parents.
To learn more, visit www.scholastic.com/summer. Make reading a big part of your
family’s summer fun!

Queridos padres:

de lectura desarrolladas durante el año escolar. La campaña de este verano está diseñada para
motivar a todos los niños a leer más para que continúen desarrollando y mejorando sus destrezas
académicas.
El evento para establecer un nuevo récord comienza el 4 de mayo y termina el 4 de septiembre
de 2015. El total de minutos de lectura acumulados y los nombres de las 20 escuelas que más
minutos acumulen se publicarán en la edición de 2016 del libro de récords Scholastic Book of
World Records.
Aquí tiene unos pasos sencillos para ayudar a sus hijos a establecer un nuevo récord de
lectura:
