A Note from the Principal

Hello, Blackland Prairie Families,

This week, we focused on Habit #7: Synergize, which is all about working together to achieve more than we could on our own. We encourage families to continue this conversation at home by talking about teamwork, whether it’s helping with chores, solving problems together, or supporting one another to reach a goal.

We had so much fun on Tuesday meeting our potential new Pre-K and Kindergarten students for next year! It is always such a joy to welcome new families to the Prairie. If you know families who would be a great fit for Blackland Prairie, please help us spread the word and encourage them to apply for a transfer or register for the upcoming school year. We also ask our current families to be on the lookout for enrollment emails and complete their re-enrollment forms as soon as possible so we can plan for another great year.

As we head into next week, our 3rd–5th grade students will soon begin State Testing. We are so proud of their hard work and know they are ready to do great things! You can support your child by ensuring they get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school with a positive mindset. We remind our students to show what they know; this helps us continue to grow and become even better learners.

We hope you all enjoy the long weekend ahead and take time to rest and recharge. Thank you for your continued partnership. We are so grateful for our Blackland Prairie community!

As always, stay safe and take care out on the Prairie!

Did You Know?

Did You Know? The concept of leadership at BPE isn't a program we add onto the day; it is the foundation of everything we do.

Our "7 Habits" model isn't just about reading a book; it’s about a cultural shift in how we approach responsibility (Habit 1: Be Proactive), goal-setting (Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind), and prioritizing (Habit 3: Put First Things First). When we say "Leadership Day," we are really saying "Culture Showcase."

You will see this culture firsthand on Friday, May 8th, from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Our students will take the lead in showing you how these principles come alive in our classrooms and hallways.

Please support our students' hard work and join us. Click here to RSVP for Leadership Day on Friday, May 8th, 8:30-10:30am.
