Dear Parents,
Welcome back to school for returning families; if your family is new to Prairie South or have a child entering school for the first time welcome to Prairie South! We’re looking forward to another great year in our schools!
Recently the Ministry of Education asked school divisions to change how they collect and share information resulting in a new student information system called MySchoolSask or MSS for short. MSS is where we will collect information about your child such as their address, birth date and who their parents are. It is also the place that teachers will collect information on learning and generate a progress report for parents. The MSS system is a secure system and has met all requirements for protecting information.
On September 3rd, 2019 teachers will begin using MSS. One of the great benefits of the system is that all parents now have access to an online parent portal that lets them view information about their child/children including their attendance and achievement levels. This will be accessible from any kind of device including phones. You will be receiving information on how to log on to the portal directly from your school; it is quite easy and friendly to use. We encourage you to use the system and at the same time continue personal contact face to face with your child’s teacher as we know that the more involved parents are in their child’s education the more successful children will be.
We are excited about the opportunities MSS will provide for us in transferring and sharing information. We also know that there are bound to be bumps with any new system and we appreciate your patience while we learn how to navigate and use MSS.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s teacher first, and if they are unable to assist you they will find someone who can. Thanks again for your dedication to your child’s education and to #learningtogether with us!
Respectfully,
Anthony D. (Tony) Baldwin
Director of Education

The entire Moose Jaw Summit experience will concentrate on the teacher you bring to work every day, the amazing students in your classroom, and how you can integrate technology into your classroom to engage those students.
