As we conclude the first marking period, I want to thank our students, teachers, and staff for their hard work and commitment to student learning. We are proud of the progress our students have made and look forward to building on that success as we prepare for Progress Monitoring 2 (PM2).
Our teachers and students are using the most recent assessment data to monitor progress, set goals, and plan instruction that meets the needs of every learner. This purposeful work helps ensure that all students continue to grow academically and reach their full potential.
November is a wonderful time to focus on gratitude. Helping children recognize and appreciate the good things in their lives can boost happiness, strengthen relationships, and encourage a positive mindset. We encourage families to take time to discuss what they are thankful for and celebrate the successes, big and small, that occur each day.
At the beginning of the school year, every class read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. The book's message reminds us that kindness, respect, and encouragement have the power to make a positive difference in the lives of others. As a school community, we will continue to make kindness a focus throughout the year by encouraging students to "fill buckets" through their words and actions.
Together, through academic excellence, gratitude, and kindness, we can create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Cross Prairie K-8 School.

As a Choice District, we allow parents to select the school they want their children to attend, as long as that school has capacity and program availability.
Each one of our public schools has a full-time sworn law enforcement officer serving as a School Resource Officer on campus every day.
Our students have highly-qualified, certified teachers who provide engaging, relevant, and rigorous instruction.
We offer a rigorous curriculum and systems of support, complete with college preparatory and career and technical education paths to meet the needs of every student.
Students have the opportunity to take high school credit courses in middle school and to earn college/postsecondary credit at no cost to parents while still in high school.
We offer courses that allow students to explore career interests, master workplace competencies, gain employable skills, and earn industry certifications and licensing upon graduation.
