Quotes from Parent Advocates

“Focusing on literacy, the strength of this school lies in its commitment to communication and respect. Whether student, parent or staff member, everyone is made to feel welcome - a part of the family. Prairie Waters was my child's first school and his second home.”

“PWE has a belief that everyone is part of the team—students, parents and staff. Because we work together for the students’ benefit, I am always confident that we can handle any challenge that may arise. The warm and welcoming atmosphere at PWE makes it a place where we really do follow our vision of being a place where we love to learn together.”

How do we define success for Prairie Waters' students?

Success for students at Prairie Waters can be measured in a multitude of ways, depending on the child. In a broad sense, students are successful when they are working at their potential and are engaged in their school experience. All students are at a different place in their learning and thus success is measured differently. However, we strongly believe that with our guidance, all students can and will achieve success and it is our primary goal to make this happen.

What makes our school good and how do we know?

In short, the people in our school community make our school a place “where we love to learn together.” Our staff is exceptional, continually learning how they can provide a richer learning experience for their students. Whether it is through their collaborative efforts with  fellow staff members or the initiative in attending a conference, they set the stage for our school. Further, our parents are extremely supportive, through volunteering, fundraising, or just being great parents for their kids. Our students thrive because of the support of staff and parents and are enthusiastic, cooperative, respectful learners who inspire everyone to continue with passion.
