Please join us for Curriculum night at North Prairie on Wednesday, September 2nd at 5:30. While Curriculum night is a night for parents and not students, we do not want that to limit your opportunity to meet your North Prairie teachers. The gym will be supervised and available for school aged children for the parents who are attending curriculum night.
You will need to sign your child in and out. This is not an open gym for all students, but an opportunity for parents to attend the evening.
