March 2, 2012 Dear Prairieview Parents and Guardians, Our goal is for all students to achieve high academic standards within a safe learning environment. As we “spring ahead” and set our clocks for daylight savings time on March 11th , it reminds us to change the batteries in our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Itʼs also a good time to share and review our safety policies and procedures: At the start of the school day, the doors at Prairieview are locked and each person entering the school must go through the front office. Parents, volunteers and other adults must check in at the office and present a valid state issued ID for entering into the Raptor Identification system. The Raptor system helps track visitors, students, faculty, contractors and volunteers at our school, thus providing a safer more monitored environment for the students. The system has the ability to provide alerts on people who may jeopardize the safety of the campus. It also prints an identification badge to be worn by visitors. All school personnel wear an identification badge and are instructed to ask for identification from any unknown person on school property. Thank you for your cooperation in presenting your valid state issued ID when checking in at school. Fire, severe weather, and lock down drills and procedures are practiced throughout the year for a variety of purposes. Not only are we teaching students how to respond in an emergency, we are also putting ourselves in various problem-solving situations. Every time we have a drill, we are assessing our system to make sure it works under as many circumstances as possible. Through our positive relationship with the Grayslake/Hainesville Police Department we continue to have police traffic direction during arrival and dismissal times and collaboration during all emergency drills and plans. As part of Prairieviewʼs emergency plan review, we want to be certain we have your most current information, including business and cell phone numbers. If this information has changed since the beginning of the year, please update it. You may do so by sending a note to the school office. Parents can also play an important role in creating school safety by talking to children about what to do in the event of a crisis. Even the youngest children should be taught to follow instructions and to stay calm in an emergency situation. All families should have their own safety plan, which includes contact phone numbers and reunion locations. We all must continue to be vigilant and make student safety our number one priority. We all hope that our emergency plans will never be needed, but we wanted to let you know that we have plans in place should they be necessary. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Vince Murray Principal

Viernes, 2 de marzo de 2012 Estimados Padres o Encargados, Nuestra meta es que todos los estudiantes alcancen un alto nivel académico dentro de un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro. A medida que "comienza la primavera” y cambiamos nuestros relojes al horario de verano el 11 de marzo, esto nos recuerda a cambiar las baterías en nuestro detectores de humo y de monóxido de carbono. También es un buen momento para compartir y revisar nuestros procedimientos y estrategias de seguridad: Al inicio de la jornada escolar, las puertas están cerradas en Prairieview y cada persona que entra en la escuela debe pasar por la oficina principal. Los padres, voluntarios y otros adultos deben registrarse en la oficina y presentar una identificación válida emitida por el estado para entrar en el sistema de Identificación de Raptor. Este sistema ayuda a realizar un seguimiento de los visitantes, estudiantes, profesores, contratistas y voluntarios en nuestra escuela, así proporcionando un entorno más controlado más seguro para los estudiantes. El sistema tiene la capacidad de proporcionar una alarma en la gente que puede poner en peligro la seguridad del campus. Este sistema también imprime una insignia de identificación para ser llevada puesta por invitados. Todo el personal escolar lleva puesta una insignia de identificación y es ilustrada para distinguir a cualquier persona desconocida en la propiedad escolar. Gracias por su cooperación en la presentación de ID cuando se registra en la escuela. Ejercicios de practica de incendios, clima severo y el cierre temporero del campus son procedimientos que se practican todo el año con una variedad de propósitos. No sólo estamos enseñando a los estudiantes a cómo responder en caso de emergencia, también nosotros estamos poniendo a los estudiantes en diversas situaciones de solución de problemas. Cada vez tenemos una de estas practicas, estamos evaluando nuestro sistema para asegurarnos de que funciona en caso de circunstancias fuera de nuestro control. A través de nuestra relación positiva con el Departamento de Policía de Grayslake / Hainesville seguimos teniendo la dirección de policía de tráfico durante las horas de llegada y el salida al igual que la colaboración durante todos los simulacros y planes de emergencia. Como parte de la revisión de plan de emergencia de Prairieview, queremos estar seguros de que tenemos la información más actualizada de los padres, esto incluye los números de trabajo, casa y teléfono celular. Si esta información ha cambiado desde el comienzo del año, por favor déjenos saber. Puede hacerlo enviando una nota a la Oficina de la escuela. Los padres también pueden desempeñar un papel importante en la creación de seguridad escolar por hablar con sus hijos sobre qué hacer en caso de crisis. Incluso los niños más pequeños se les debe enseñar a seguir las instrucciones y a mantener la calma en una situación de emergencia. Todas las familias deben tener su propio plan de seguridad, que incluye contacto con números de teléfono y el reencuentro lugares. Todos debemos continuar estando alerta para la seguridad de los estudiantes que es nuestra prioridad número uno. Todos esperamos que nuestros planes de emergencia nunca sean necesario, pero también queremos que sepan que tenemos planes en lugar de necesitarlos. Como siempre, por favor, no dude en ponerse en contacto con nosotros si tiene alguna pregunta. Sinceramente, Vince Murray Principal

Planning on traveling by car with children for spring break? That can be a LONG car ride if you aren’t prepared ahead of time with snacks, music, movies and activities. The car ride can provide a great opportunity for families to bond, have fun and laugh…but only if you are prepared ahead of time! Here is a fun game to play with the kids while driving through the country: More fun travel games can be found at www.momsminivan.com
Counting Cows (also known as "Cow Poker") Here is how to play this classic car travel game. Divide the car occupants into teams - left side and right side. Decide how you will determine when the game will end (time, length of trip, etc.). Count the cows you see on your side of the car. If you pass a field full of lots of cows, you'd better count fast! If you pass a cemetery on your side of the car, you lose all your cows -- but only if the opposing team calls out "your cows are buried!"
This game gets interesting when distraction tactics are used to either cause your opponent to miss cows on their side of the road or to miss a cemetery on your side of the road. A white
horse can count as a bonus. The team with the most cows wins!
Here is a point system you might like to use to make it a little more challenging:
1) Cows = 1 point each. 2) White Horse = 50 points 3) Chimney by itself (house burnt down) = 50 points each. 4) Peg legged man = 500 points each. 5) Gray mule = 100 points each. 6) Wind mill (out in pasture pumping water) = 50 points each. 7) Sheep or goats (replace cows if none are around) = 1 point each. 8) Cemetery = wipes out points. Start back at zero (0).
Some cow jokes to incorporate into the game:
Why do cows have bells? How do you keep a bull from charging? A: Because their horns don't work! A: You take away his credit card! What do you call a cow that has no milk? What do cows do online? A: An udder failure! A: They instant moo-ssege each other!
COURTESY OF CHAMPIONS EXTENDED LEARNING BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS!
Champions runs a before and after school program right here at your child’s school. Champions provides activities that focus on interests in art, drama, science, building, literature and homework
support. Call Jill Anderson at 847-‐360-‐0191 for more information.
