We invite you to participate in our school feedback survey, where you can share insights on several meaningful aspects; including your student's growth, available supports, and areas where we can improve.

Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary, but we encourage at least one member from each household to participate. The parent/guardian survey takes approximately 12 minutes to complete and covers questions about your child's experiences within our school. If you have multiple children at our school, please focus on the oldest child's experiences when answering questions related to growth. Your input is invaluable to us, and we appreciate your feedback in advance!

Kindly complete the survey by March 27th. (MRA Family Survey)

Last year we had 114 families complete the survey - Our goal this year is 200!

To Date, we've had 66 families submit a survey.

State Assessments will begin next week at Prairie Creek. Students in grades 3-5 will take ELA Session 1 on March 31st and ELA Session 2 on April 1st. Additionally, 2nd grade students will take a formative assessment designed to measure both reading fundamentals and comprehension, aligning with Kansas state reading standards for K-2.

We want our students to confidently demonstrate their knowledge and represent Prairie Creek well! Please help set your child up for success by ensuring they get plenty of rest, have a healthy breakfast, and are encouraged to take their time and do their best.Your support plays a vital role in their success, and we appreciate your partnership in this journey!
