The date is set for our annual back to school picnic! This year we’ve got a few different things, like temporary tattoos and glow necklaces. We also have a DJ and photo booth. We’ll have full sized samples of GoGo Squeeze, as well as a food truck with meal and a la cart options. There will also be an ice cream truck. Be on the look out for more information as the date gets closer.
 
All Prairie View families are automatically part of the PTO. Together, we improve student life and learning through school-wide events and fundraising for classrooms. Everyone can take part in our mission from participating in boxtops to volunteering for a short shift at an event to joining the board – all levels of involvement are appreciated and important.

Eden Prairie Schools recently launched a new mobile-friendly website: ww.edenpr.org/prairie-view-elementary . You will now be able to directly access the Portal login, staff directory and student life resources (such as school calendars, lunch menus, and transportation). This replaces the Eden Prairie Schools mobile app, which will no longer be offered in app stores. Please delete the app if you still have it on your device, as it is no longer supported.
 
We encourage you to visit our updated website. You can also save a shortcut for the website (or to a specific page) to your mobile device home screen by following these instructions for  Apple  and  Android  devices.
