Welcome to Prairie Heights Middle School! PDF Print E-mail
Here we hope you can become better informed of upcoming events and browse through some of the work the students have produced. This site will also contain information about the staff, and news about the students as they continue to learn and grow.

From the Transportation Dept.:
 
We operate our school bus loads as efficiently as possible. Parents who have childcare arrangements in multiple houses have already notified us at the beginning of the year and we have allowed room on our buses for them. We do allow a bit of room for the occasional student who must ride a different bus for a couple of days for childcare reasons. However, we do not have room for a student to take multiple students home with him/her for a party or a sleepover. On occasions, we have had a student request to take five (5) friends home and we do not have space on our buses for this event. Thank you in advance for understanding that we cannot take multiple students home with a student and that those students need to have their parents transport the students to your home.

A note for all parents:
Perhaps one of the most powerful tools available at Prairie Heights is the Panther PAW system. It allows you to instantly view your child's current grades. It is a part of the new computerized grade book all teachers are now using. Therefore the grades remain current and exact. There should also be upcoming assignments on the PAW system as well. You can also view your student's lunch account balance through Panther PAW. To gain access to PAW, you need to come to the middle school office with a photo ID so you can be given a password. From there it is a simple point and click away.
 
For fast and reliable information regarding school delay and closing, call the NEW weather phone number (260) 351-3004. As soon as a decision is made regarding school delays or cancellations, the voice mail is updated. This is the best way to determine whether your children should attend school on a bad weather day.
