Today is National School Principal's Day. Dakota Prairie has two of the best! Thank you, Dr. Bye and Mr. Johnson, for you dedication to continuously improve our schools so that all students can learn and succeed.

One of the 9th grade 7 Mindsets groups recently embraced this month’s focus, “The Time is Now,” by learning how to make their own Blizzards! A special thank you to Julie for generously taking the time to teach each student and for providing this experience for them. We truly appreciate her kindness and support in making this opportunity both meaningful and memorable for our students.



We "wheelie" appreciate our bus drivers! They get our students to and from school, practices, games, and events. We are so thankful for them!
If you would like to become a bus driver for Dakota Prairie, please contact either school office.


Henry Parsons recently joined the U.S. Marines. While his major is currently undecided, he is interested in a future career as an electrician.
Henry enjoys spending time fishing and being around his friends, who he says he will remember most after graduation. His friendships have been a meaningful part of his high school experience.
Henry says he most admires his Uncle Brandon, who has had a strong influence on his life. He will fondly remember Mrs. Forde always getting after him for not doing his homework.
A quote that resonates with Henry is “The best way out is through,” a reminder to face challenges head-on and keep moving forward.
If Henry had a theme song that played every time he walked into a room, it would be “Next to You” by Ole 60.


The spring season holds a variety of opportunities for students. Be sure to support our students in the many activities they are in- sports, music, spring play, etc.
Have a great week, everyone!

Dakota Prairie Elementary hosted its second annual Color Run/Walk on April 24th. The kids had a blast! Thank you everyone involved for making this run/walk a success!
