Spring Break
Happy Spring Break! As the snow starts to melt, again, and the days get a little longer we are reminded that spring is here. We hope all families have an opportunity to reconnect and recharge over the next week. Our school will be closed until March 31 when we welcome students back to classes.
Welcome Back
We welcomed back our amazing facility operator and custodial staff on Friday. We are so grateful for all the work they do keeping our school clean, safe, and ready for learning.

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity in bringing all the scrumptious food and sodas to fuel teachers through parent teacher conferences. Your thoughtfulness and kindness so appreciated. We have the best families at Pratt!
