I hope your summer has been both relaxing and memorable, filled with time together as a family. Here at the Nest, the building is buzzing with excitement as we prepare to welcome our students back next week! Below you’ll find important details and reminders to help your family get ready for the year ahead:
The Back-to-School Orientation & Picture Day is Wednesday, August 26, from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Please enter through Door 1 by the roundabout. Students will take school pictures, meet teachers, and get ready for the year ahead.
Return to Learn days are August 27, 28, 31. On Friday, August 28, all students will travel by bus to Prescott High School for our annual Cardinal Olympics—a day full of collaboration, fun, and school spirit!
26-27 School Year Forms
School Pictures: See below for more details from Cahill Studios.
School Supplies: School supplies are provided through a fee structure. This ensures all students have equal access to the same quality supplies and opportunities within and between classes. This also greatly assists our teachers in planning and organizing within their classrooms. You can find the full Supply List here, as well as projected fees. These can be paid in Infinite Campus.
The grade 4 recorder may be reused if purchased in the last 2 years. If not, parents need to add the recorder to their infinite campus cart. Ms. Siewert will ask for them to be brought in once needed.
Donations are gladly accepted for hand sanitizer, Kleenex, and disinfectant wipes throughout the year.
Student Image Use: Please complete this form if you do not want your child(ren)’s images shared by the school or district. You only need to complete one form per family (4K-5). Student Image Opt-Out Form

Importance of Being On Time for School
Importance of Being On Time for School
As we want to start off the school year strong, please know that Prescott Intermediate School is open to students at 7:30 AM. A warning bell rings at 7:50 AM, and students are expected to be at their desks, ready to learn, by the official start of the day at 7:55 AM.
Arriving on time is a critical component of making this year great for several reasons:
Academic Momentum: The first few minutes of class are vital for setting the day's objectives. Missing this "launch" often leads to immediate stress and the overwhelming feeling of being behind before the first lesson even begins, creating unnecessary gaps in understanding.
Building Responsibility: Consistent punctuality fosters time-management skills that will serve students well as they transition to higher grade levels.
Classroom Community: When students arrive on time, they have the space to connect with peers and teachers, strengthening the friendships and respect that make our school environment thrive.
Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring your child arrives with enough time to settle in and start their day with confidence. Let’s work together to make this school year the most productive yet!
