Despite every hardship this past year, our East Prairie community has committed itself to transforming our school to fully serve the unique needs of every child. With an open heart and open mind, we have taken significant steps to work together in new ways that more fully support kids, families, staff, and our entire school community! We have developed and refined systems, structures, practices, and mindsets that are supportive of learning, relationships, and kids! And while not easy, it has certainly been impactful!
We head into 2022, prepared for the unexpected and with a continued commitment to excellence. With case levels again rising, a new variant upon us, and ongoing stress, strain, and mental health crises across our society we know how important our collective work is. We remain dedicated to upholding healthy and safety procedures that ensure the wellbeing of our kids, staff, families, and community. We will continue to prioritize relationships, connection, and explicit instruction of tools and strategies to support emotional health and wellbeing. All of this while continuing to live our mission and “ensure the highest levels of learning” for all.
Again, thank you for your commitment, care, and above all trust each day to make this our reality. We hope that Winter Break provides your family the opportunity to hit pause, rest, and recharge. We hope each day is filled with much happiness and time with those closest to you. Whatever 2022 has in store for us, we are confident that we will continue to rise to the challenge, and do our best to learn, grow, and have some fun along the way!
