Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools Community Education Services

Discover the joy of making Music Together! Sing, laugh, move and learn along with your baby, toddler or preschooler for 45-minutes of pure fun each week in these award winning classes. We bring families together in a warm, supportive environment with the goal of having everyone feel comfortable singing, dancing and jamming. Because young children learn best from the powerful role models in their lives, our engaging classes show parents and caregivers how to help their children become confident, lifelong music makers just by having fun making music themselves. Classes are mixed-age so the siblings can be together. Infants, if not attending with a sibling, pay full tuition. Infants under eight months on the first day of the session attend free with a paid sibling. Receive a CD, a code to download the music, an illustrated songbook and parent education materials. Try a free demo class to see if this program is a good fit for your family.

This dance is all about you, but it wouldn’t be the same without your perfect date. Invite your favorite dad, uncle, grandfather, adult family member or friend as your escort. Dress up if you’d like, or feel free to wear whatever you are most comfortable in for twirling and dancing. Silver Sound Entertainment will help set the tone for the evening with plenty of family friendly songs and dances. Princesses will be there to dance and pose with the children. Each child will receive a favor, and light snacks are included in the ticket price. Capture the moment with professional photos of you and your date, available for purchase. This event is expected to fill.

The temps are starting to drop and soon it will be that time of year again...the ski and snowboard season! Time to sign up for Middle School Ski and Snowboard Trips! We will head to Buck Hill on MONDAYS if the snow conditions permit. Buck Hill has a very good ski school and has worked with our school district for years. Lessons are available for beginner skiers and snowboarders. Rental Equipment is included with Option A only. The fee for Option A includes rental equipment and helmet at no extra cost. For all other options, rental equipment is available at Buck Hill at an additional charge ($25/time). If you did not register for Option A and require rental, parents or students will need to bring a credit card for the ($25) rental to Buck Hill each session. Equipment Trailer: Ski/Snowboard equipment trailers will be available between 6:50-7:15 am in the lower level TOMS parking lot for BOTH Hidden Oaks and Twin Oaks students. Transportation: The buses will leave the Middle School south parking lots at 2:30 pm. The transportation is one-way so students need to be picked up at Buck Hill by the clock tower no later than 7:30 p.m. Supervision of students will end at 7:30 p.m. There will be a before school equipment drop-off site (trailer) at Twin Oaks Middle School for both schools. Students are not allowed to bring any equipment on regular school buses. Equipment drop-off time is 6:45-7:15 am. Please label and secure equipment together for safe keeping. A ski or snowboard bag is highly recommended to guard against scratches. We also encourage students to purchase a lock specially made for ski equipment or use the Buck Hill ski lock up area. Please note: Parents of students that do not get on the bus before it’s departure will not be notified. Please create a back-up plan with your student in the event they miss the bus. Meals: Outside food in not allowed. Please bring money to purchase dinner items such as hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, etc. ($5-$7). Money can be placed on a Buck Hill debit card also. Cancellation: Due to adverse weather conditions – ski trips can be cancelled after your child has arrived at school. If school closes early – no ski trip…If all after school activities get cancelled – no ski trip. In these cases your child will be notified by a school announcement and will be sent home according to his/her normal routine. As a parent – be prepared!!! If you dropped off skis or snowboard – the pick-up will be the next morning from 6:45-7:15 a.m. (the usual drop-off time) at Twin Oaks MS. If you cannot pick up your child’s equipment – please make arrangements for an alternate plan – neighbor, friends, etc. It makes it very hard to store equipment for a week in the school and we can’t guarantee its safety. If all other plans fail – you can call. If you are in doubt on a cancellation – call 952-226-0310. Normally we do not cancel unless the school or Buck Hill does the cancellation. One more reason to make sure your child has warm clothing and face covering in some situations. Frostbite can happen quickly – your child is reminded of this by chaperones – but make sure they have adequate covering. There will be no individual make up sessions or refunds. Activity Fee: The activity fee allows PLSAS to facilitate weekly field trips to Buck Hill, where open skiing, lift tickets, and optional lessons and equipment rental are available to registered students. Please note that PLSAS Community Education is providing access to these activities, but they are not PLSAS programs or staff. PLSAS Community Education does provide 1 staff person as a resource and point of contact for students. Parent volunteers are recruited and background checked to assist students as needed. Helmet Rental (Helmet included with Option A) Other package options rent directly at Buck Hill. No Refunds after December 111, 2023. Processing fees will be deducted from any refund. Questions?
