EDUPRIZE, the school of CHOICE! I think everyone would agree that our event yesterday was the best ever. Thank you to the many parents that came to support our celebration. The EDUPRIZE
band, choir and cheer team led our student body in song, dance and cheer. Our 8th grade students Mason R., Cayden H. and Brenna S. did an amazing job delivering a meaningful message. We were also delighted to have EDUPRIZE founders, Dr. Robershotte and Mrs. Curtis, share some thoughts
on school choice. They left us all with an inspiring message.
Thank you students and staff for a magical day!
Conferences are coming up soon. If you have not signed up for a conference, please do so today. Teachers are required to have a face-to-face, in-person conference with parents at least two times each year. It is an important component of your child's education. This is also a great time to discuss your child's needs in regards to their placement for the 2016-2017 school year. EDUPRIZE
does not accept parent requests for specific teachers, but we do value your input on what your child needs in a teacher. I encourage you to share your thoughts with your child's current teacher and we
will take that into consideration when placing your child for next year.
