Welcome to Prairie View Elementary! My name is Tim Pedley, and I am absolutely thrilled to join the New Prairie community as your new principal. Coming from a wonderfully close-knit elementary school very similar to Prairie View, I know firsthand the magic that happens when a school community feels like a family. Here, we take great pride in creating a space where every face is known, every name is celebrated, and every single student is deeply cared for. At Prairie View, we are deeply committed to ensuring high levels of learning and growth for all students. I come from a school that shared this exact focus. I have seen firsthand what happens when a dedicated staff teams up, shares ideas, and focuses entirely on the unique needs of every child - students make massive academic strides because they feel safe, loved, and truly seen every single day. I see that exact same passion and potential right here at Prairie View. I cannot wait to get to know this incredible community, partner with our families, and watch our students thrive. Together, we are going to do amazing things this year! Warmly, Tim Pedley Principal, Prairie View Elementary
