Administrators Message
On behalf of the school community I would like to welcome you to the 2017-2018 school year!
2017-2018 will be another awesome year full of opportunities and exciting learning accomplishments! Our building is full of caring, skilled staff members that are talented in keeping current with the latest trends considered most effective in support of student learning.
We wish to continue to enhance our partnerships between parents, guardians, teachers and community members. At Prince Arthur School, teachers, staff and parents do an excellent job working together to create a cooperative, nurturing and respectful learning environment that honors diversity and inspires academic success. Partnerships need to be positive, and they must aim to meet common learning goals in a supportive environment. By working together as a learning community, we are able to provide maximum support for our children.
At Prince Arthur, we expect students to do their best work at all times. It doesn’t mean everyone has to be perfect, it simply means students are required to strive to reach their greatest potential. The staff will do our best to encourage and guide each child so they may experience social, and academic success.
Routines are an important part of student life at Prince Arthur. These routines promote a safe and caring school environment and assist in the delivery of curricula outcomes. All classrooms will follow a common discipline manual based on the literature of Ronald Morish. If you would like a copy of this book, please contact me as I am happy to loan it to you.
ATTENDANCE MATTERS! – Attending school and being on time regularly is essential to students gaining the academic and social skills they need to succeed. Good attendance helps children do well in school and eventually in the work place. Absences quickly add up to too much time lost in the classroom, starting in kindergarten and even pre-k. Students are at risk academically if they miss 10% of the school year, or about 19 days. Educators and families need to monitor how many days each student misses school for any reason. With our new 8:15 A.M start time, families are really going to have to work hard at being on time. One of the greatest barriers to learning I see for some of our students is their poor attendance. By working together, we will overcome this challenge. Our staff is here to help!
Playground – We need you! Our new playground will be installed Fri. Sept 15th and Sat. Sept 16th. We will begin at 8:00 A.M each day. We hope to have it finished by 6:00 P.M. If you are able to help please call the school (306-692-3904) to sign up. We need 12 people each day at all times to work with our installer. Please bring your wheel barrow and shovel. Kids will be soooooooo excited!!
Please don’t hesitate to contact the office or your child’s teacher at any time throughout the year if you have questions or concerns. We look forward to a positive and rewarding school year!
Sincerely,
Mr. D. Osberg
Ms. J. Straub
