Students who like to sew. If you would like to make projects for yourself or for donation here are a few ideas. 1)Fabric masks. I can send you a PDF of the pattern or I have paper copies at school. There is donated fabric at school if you need it. 2) Rag quilt: denim and flannel scraps available at school. Make one to keep or donate. 3) Hospital gowns.

Now is a GREAT TIME TO READ. The English 30 class is reading The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. This brilliant novel with universal resonance, set during the 1990’s Siege of Sarajevo, tells the story of three people trying to survive in a city rife with the extreme fear of desperate times, and of the sorrowing cellist who plays undaunted in their midst... In the first chapter, the cellist witnesses 22 people killed in a mortar attack as they wait in line for bread. In response, the cellist vows he will sit in the mortar’s point of impact 22 concurrent times, once a day for each person killed, and play Albinoni’s Adagio. “Or at least he will try.” He’s not sure he will survive since anyone caught outside in the streets of Sarajevo without cover is a target for snipers. Parents are invited to read along if they can! The discussion with your son or daughter will be great as we connect the book to current events. The Cellist of Sarajevo is a timely novel of individual courage and perseverance that will resonate during COVID-19. Here is a link to Albinoni’s Adagio. I recommend listening to it as you read the first chapter! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMbvcp480Y4

Good Morning! Parent Teacher Interviews are postponed. We will reschedule telephone interviews once we get into a routine. PS - Many of our teachers are already posting content onto Google Classroom, so if your teen tells you he/she has no homework, be suspicious. Our hard-working staff continues planning today and will reach out to all parents ASAP.

Dear families, I’d like to start by thanking all our families and staff for your ongoing patience and understanding through the past 24 hours. We acknowledge that the recent announcement to cancel classes came without much notice and we appreciate your cooperation. What we can tell you is that in anticipation of such an announcement, Prairie Rose staff had already begun preparations of reviewing how we could continue to best serve students through the remainder of the year, if necessary. Over the past 24 hours our staff have been working collaboratively with their principals to develop education plans that will meet the needs of all students. By Wednesday, you should receive a phone call from your child’s teacher who will discuss learning options for your child, and what kind of access you have to reliable internet and technology devices. We know that not everyone will have this same access, so we want to find out how we can continue to communicate and provide instruction no matter what your situation. As a division, we are committed to getting through this together. We also know that many of you are eager to come into the schools to pick up belongings that were left behind last week. Our schools are working out schedules that will allow for restricted access to our school buildings. Please make sure you are cleared to enter the school, based on the requirements outlined by the Chief Medical Officer of Health, before entering. We have created an assessment guide for you to review (posted above). If you are not cleared to enter the school, please call so we can make other arrangements. The last thing we want is to have students and staff coming in contact with those who might be ill. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Stay safe and well everyone, Roger Clarke Superintendent of Schools
