Hello Prairie City Families, This is Superintendent Casey Hallgarth with an important announcement about our breakfast and lunch program. I am happy to announce that we have been granted the Seamless Summer Option program which allows our school to receive free breakfasts and lunches for the rest of the school year. This applies to every Pre School through 12th grade student enrolled at Prairie City. I want to emphasize that this program will be back dated to October 1st and all outstanding accounts before October 1st still need to be paid. If you have any question regarding this announcement, please feel free to call the school at 541-820-3314. Thank you and Go Panthers!

Freshmen will be reorganizing P-Hill tomorrow (Friday) from 10-12. Please have them wear close they can work in and bring gloves. They will be cleaning up weeds, moving rocks, organizing the area. Thank you.

Due to Covid-19 I am unable to bring in financial aid representatives to discuss the FAFSA that has opened today October 1. I have discussed at length with your senior student but want to also share a link to a FAFSA orientation that Oregon State University is providing next Tuesday October 6 at 7:00 through a virtual video conference. Use the following link to register for the FAFSA orientation beav.es/4hs. You can also look at previous videos and topics on the following website https://gateway.oregonstate.edu/college-talk-tuesdays-resource-library. Contact me if you need any assistance with the FAFSA application. Thank you. Mr. Colson

Loving the way it is coming together!

Prairie City sports physicals will be next Friday, September 11 starting right after school at noon in the old gym. Bring 2 cans of food as payment. Parents need to sign the physical form before hand so that it is valid. Mr. Colson will give them to all interested athletes next week. Grades 5, 7, 9, 11 must have a physical as well as any new student who wishes to participate. Share this info with whoever you can do that everyone is aware. Thank you and Go Panthers!
