As we prepare for the 2026-27 school year, Prospect Ridge Academy is excited to welcome students and parents back to campus for the annual K12 Check-In Fair. In a continued effort to streamline the event, the Check-In Fair will be a one-day event and is separate from Monday's Miner Merge, which is only available to Rising 6th graders, Rising 9th graders, and “new to PRA” secondary students.
Elementary Open House
Held on the same day as the Check-In Fair, the Elementary School Open House is designed for elementary students and families to have the opportunity to visit their classrooms, meet the teachers, and bring in their personal school supplies. Please reference the 2026-27 School Supply Lists for each grade on the ES Summer Page.
K12 Check-In Fair
The K12 Check-In Fair is mandatory for all elementary students, as well as all returning 7th-8th grade students, and all returning 10th-12th grade students. Rising 6th Graders and Rising 9th Graders who attended Miner Merge (Monday, August 10) do not need to attend. This event is welcome to families.
