Our Apex leadership program and fundraiser starts on September 30th, 2025!
Apex offers an exceptional two-week interactive leadership program, complemented by a fitness-focused event fundraiser, which enables schools nationwide to raise funds in a healthy manner. During the fun-filled program, Apex encourages the development of leadership habits, good character, and physical fitness.
Every student at our school participates in the daily leadership and character lessons, receives daily lesson silicone wristbands, enjoys classroom & school-wide rewards, and takes part in the celebratory, high-energy fitness event, regardless of financial participation in the fundraiser.
We will need volunteers for our fun run for all grades on Friday, October 10! Please look for this request soon!

Unity Day
Unity Day at Prairie View Elementary is on Wednesday, October 22. We encourage all students and staff members to wear orange on this day. October allows our school to unite against bullying and show that we are united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Hawk Pride
We teach/reteach, recognize, and celebrate Hawk Pride expectations, which are respectful, responsible, and ready. Students are acknowledged verbally and with Hawk Pride tickets when they are following expectations. This year, our staff is focusing on helping students understand the ‘why’ behind following expectations and being specific in our acknowledgments of students. When our students have filled our school-wide container with Hawk Pride tickets, they are recognized with an all-school celebration. In addition, individual students are recognized each Monday morning during our Hawk Pride ticket drawing. We draw ten names each week. When a student's name is selected, their name is announced over the PA system, and they choose from a menu of prizes.

THANK YOU to all who participated in our APEX Fundraiser. We raised $58,955 for our school! We will celebrate next week by turning Principal Sampson into a Human Sundae!
E-Learning Days
E-Learning Days are intended to provide access to learning on days when there are school cancellations due to inclement weather. These days cannot replace the face-to-face time students have with their teachers, but it can provide continuous learning when school is canceled. E-Learning Days also eliminate the need for makeup days at the end of the school year, helping families plan summer activities. Read more…
Hard copies will be sent home with your student on October 20th.
Art to Remember
I am excited to start a new school year with your child and am looking forward to creating many new art projects together! I will be teaming up again with Art to Remember to raise additional funds for the art room. Art to Remember transfers children’s artwork onto wonderful keepsake items, such as mugs, necklaces, key chains, and more! Ordering information will go home with your child at the end of October. I hope this fundraiser gives you a unique way to collect, enjoy, and appreciate your child’s artwork. Not only do Art to Remember products make great gifts for friends and family members, but every purchase you make supports our school. I plan on making art class a fun experience for your child and am eager to see where their imaginations can take them!
Thanks,
Carly Christensen, PVES Art Specialist

Lost & Found - New Procedure
If students lose something in their classrooms, flex areas, specialist areas, the cafeteria, or on the playground, they should look for it in their grade-level basket, located in the grade-level wings.
The only items stored in the gray carts near the main entrance come from after-school activities.
ALiCE Drill
ISD 728 continues a partnership with ALICE Training Institute this school year. The acronym stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. ALICE prepares us with proactive, options-based strategies for addressing threats on campus, while remaining age- and ability-appropriate.
All ISD 728 teachers, staff, and administrators have been trained in the ALICE protocols. Students will be reviewing this information with their teachers and other school staff again after winter break. During this time, students will receive an overview of the program and participate in a drill with a classroom teacher. Students will be able to ask their teachers questions about the drill and will have access to any on-campus mental health services, including other student support specialists as needed.
In advance of this review, we are asking parents to watch these video presentations that will be shared with our grade K-2 & 3-5 students:
Please speak with your student(s) after the ALICE training and ask them about what they learned. You can find more information on ALICE, talking points, and school emergency procedures (including how to respond) on the ISD 728 Prevention & Safety Department website.
Our school district provides parents with the option to opt their child out of these classroom drills. If you choose to opt out of your child, alternative safety education will be provided through less sensorial safety training methods.
Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to opt your child out of this drill.
Sincerely,
Kari Samspon

Puddle/Mud Incidents: Clothing is not available in the health office for wet clothing.
Reminder to Families: It may be helpful to pack a labeled "just in case" outfit in backpacks until the grounds dry up.
Return Clothing: If you currently have items that belong to the health office, please return them clean, and ready for student use. If you have items (pants are our biggest need) please drop them off in the main office.
Thank you for your help in managing our limited resources so we can keep our students comfortable and clean!

ALiCE Drill
Dear Prairie View Parents and Guardians:
ISD 728 is committed to providing the safest possible environment for its students and staff. To maintain a safe learning environment, we consistently collaborate with law enforcement to learn and implement best practices in school safety and security.
ISD 728 continues a partnership with ALICE Training Institute this school year. The acronym stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. ALICE equips us with proactive, options-based strategies for addressing on-campus threats while remaining age- and ability-appropriate.
All ISD 728 teachers, staff, and administrators have been trained in the ALICE protocols. Students will be reviewing this information with their teachers and other school staff next week. During this time, students will receive a review of the program and participate in a drill with a classroom teacher. Students will be able to ask their teachers questions about the drill and will have access to any on-campus mental health services, including other student support specialists as needed.
In advance of this review, we are asking parents to watch these video presentations that will be shared with our grade K-2 & 3-5 students:
I would encourage you to speak with your student(s) after the ALICE training and ask them about what they learned. You can find more information on ALICE, talking points, and school emergency procedures (including how to respond) on the ISD 728 Prevention & Safety Department website.
Our school district provides parents with the option to opt their child out of these classroom drills. If you choose to opt out of your child, alternative safety education will be provided through less sensorial safety training methods.
Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to opt your child out of this drill.
Sincerely,
Kari Samspon
Prairie View Principal

Transportation
In April, ISD 728 Transportation shared information with families regarding student transportation eligibility and needs for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.
If you have already completed a Student Transportation Request Survey for next school year, nothing further is needed. If a change or form is still needed, please complete the Student Transportation Request Survey before June 30, 2026 so that transportation can be established for the first weeks of school.
All eligible ISD 728 students enrolling in Kindergarten, who live within the District boundary AND attend their school of residence, will automatically be assigned to District transportation based on their PRIMARY HOUSEHOLD as listed in Campus Parent Portal for the 2026-2027 school year. In other words, if this is the plan for your student, you do not need to complete a Student Transportation Request Survey.
If your student needs transportation OTHER THAN FROM YOUR PRIMARY ADDRESS (i.e. daycare, alternate location, etc.) or your student falls under one of the criteria listed below, you MUST submit a Student Transportation Request Survey through the online process in Campus Parent Portal by June 30, 2026.
- Student is in 11th or 12th grade and is needing transportation to and from school
- Student needs different transportation (not just to and from their primary address such as daycare, AM vs PM are different, etc.)
- Student is a magnet student (accepted at Rogers Elementary) living within ISD 728 district boundaries and needs transportation +
+Magnet students attending Rogers Elementary that live outside of the ISD 728 district boundaries should contact their school to ensure they are registered to ride on NWSISD transportation. - Student is open enrolled into ISD 728 and needs a bus stop location assigned ^
^For open enrolled students - bus stop locations are determined by space available on district buses - they are not determined by distance to your home and parent/guardian must transport the student to and from bus stop location. - Student does NOT need morning transportation or afternoon transportation, remove from ALL bus routes
If a Student Transportation Request survey is needed, the parent/guardian should:
- Login to Campus Parent Portal
- Select 'Message Center' (left-hand menu)
- Select 'Surveys' (main menu)
- Complete 2026-2027 Transportation Survey* (complete one form per student)
If a Student Transportation request or change is submitted after June 30, 2026, transportation may not be ready to begin the first days of school. More information about transportation is available at www.isd728.org/Transportation along with a printable form.
