Prairie City School District

We will be doing the annual canned food drive for Prairie City Family Christmas Baskets starting Monday and going until the last day of school before Christmas Break. 2 cans of food gets you a cookie. Class with most cans gets a prize at the finally. We will bring boxes around tomorrow and hopefully it works for everyone to collect them during your first period class and Seniors will come around each morning to take a individual tally for cookies and running totals. Spread the word Thanks Billy

Thank you CB Construction for the amazing bronze statue that was specifically made in Joseph, Oregon for Prairie City School District!

Message regarding previous statement about basketball open gyms. After discussions at school and with the new amount of cases in the county we are going to hold off on basketball open gyms for a bit longer until we are given more information in the coming days and week about how the case count is doing. Sorry and thank you for your patience.

Hello PC Families, I wanted to inform everyone that we will not be closing our school due to the increase in cases. We take the safety of your children very seriously. Although John Day Schools are pivoting to CDL until November 30, we are anticipating being in school Monday. We will monitor the situation closely and keep everyone informed. Thank you and Go Panthers

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
