Attention All Parent and Student Drivers - Use Caution When Leaving School Property
We have received a complaint from an individual who drives a van of students who leaves the Inspiration development around the same time as the school day ends and has experienced several issues with drivers not yielding to him when he is making a right hand turn to head northbound on Stagecoach Trail. This is a good reminder to all drivers who make a left-hand turn from the school onto Stagecoach that you must yield to the vehicle who is making a right-hand turn.

It’s Time to Take Action Today – to be Ready for Fall Sports 2020
We are well on our way to reaching our goal of $350,000, but still have a long way to go. Timing is everything. To have stadium seats for next fall, we need to secure funding
commitments by early April.  

To those who are planning to give but haven’t yet done so, please step up and take action today!  

Give at the $250 (10 payments of $25) to receive a custom engraved nameplate on the bench-style bleachers.

OR

Give at the $1000 (10 payments of $100) to receive a custom engraved nameplate on a stadium chair seat.  

Thank you to all who have already taken action and donated! 
Please note that fundraising campaigns are necessary at St. Croix Prep, because St. Croix Prep is not funded at the same level as our resident school district. St. Croix Prep does not receive any portion of the local tax levy, which equates to approximately $1500 per student per year.

Health and Emergency Preparedness/ALiCE
Mental health is an important part of our overall health. It isn't just the absence of illness, it is a state of well-being that is on a continuum. Mental health affects our daily life, our relationships, and even our physical health. Sometimes when our mental health is out of balance we need help to get it back in balance.

Prep now has a list of resources listed on our website under Families > Health Service > Mental Health. These resources are both national and local. Prep does not endorse any specific organization; this is a list of possible options, a place to start. We hope this can be a service to you and your children.
