About Prairie South

Development of the Whole Child

At school students:

• learn how to learn;
• achieve at their highest levels;
• contribute to their school community; and
• participate in the communities at large.

Community Involvement & Engagement

Community involvement is important because:

• our schools connect people with learning and community;
• public participation helps us make better decisions; and
• diverse perspectives create a better understanding of need.

Division Transparency

We build trust and credibility with our community members by:

• sharing information that improves the public’s understanding of our decisions and
  policies;
• showing how we spend our monies to deliver services; and
• maintaining the code of ethics established by the Board.

A Collective Common Sense Approach

Our decisions and policies reflect the needs of our communities and are based on:

• careful research;
• accurate data; and
• informed judgment.

Students and Families: building blocks for learning

We work together with caring people in student homes to prepare students for the future. Our decisions and policies reflect the best interest of our students.

Learning Environments: places of learning.

Our learning environments encourage 21st Century competencies through responsive
instruction and assessment, innovative delivery models, and a student first culture. Our learning environments contribute to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Inclusive Communities: partners in learning

Our communities, their individuals, businesses, public and private agencies are our partners in learning. Our communities are involved in the process of determining needs, identifying resources, and creating solutions for our learning environments.

Our People: champions of learning

Our people have the power to inspire greatness through their attitudes and actions. Prairie South School Division staff are leaders in learning, and share their talents and abilities with one another for the betterment of students, families, learning environments, and communities.
