Wildcat Families,


Another great week is in the books at Walnut Grove!


Thank you to everyone who came out for our first Coffee with the Lead Counselor and Principal. It was great connecting with so many of you in person and online. Thanks to our amazing video production team, we managed to capture the whole session on video. You are welcome to click the link below to catch up on what was shared.


We also had a fantastic turnout at our NHS meeting, handing out over 300 applications! If your student picked one up, please help them keep an eye on the due date. Questions about the application can go to Mrs. Mitchell or Mrs. Garcia here at school.


Looking ahead, I want to encourage every family to attend the College, Career and Military Fair this Tuesday, September 8, at Richland High School from 6:00โ€“8:00 PM. It's a great chance to explore everything PISD has to offer and start preparing your student for their next step after high school.


I hope you and your family have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day. We'll see you back at WG next Tuesday.


Have an amazing weekend and GO CATS!


Dustin Toth

  • Build positive relationships rooted in trust and respect
  • Serve as role models and champions for student success
  • Help students develop confidence, character, and connection

BEST PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN TEXAS

Named by HEBโ€™s Excellence in Education Awards as the Best Large District in the State of Texas, Prosper ISD has an established 67-year history that is grounded in the humble roots of a farming community, now soaring to the fastest growing school district in Texas, due in no small part to the pursuit of excellence in the arts, academics and athletics. Our students and staff are routinely recognized on the local, state, and national levels for outstanding achievements, and our teachers are highly qualified experts who bring out the best in every student.


ABOUT PROSPER ISD

Prosper ISD is a school district located north of Dallas in Collin and Denton Counties. The district spans approximately 58 square miles and serves more than 32,000 students in 20 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 4 high schools, and one early childhood school.


๐Ÿซถ THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS & STUDENTS

In November 2023, an overwhelming majority of voters approved $2.7 billion to continue building excellence in Prosper ISD. Thank you for your continued financial commitment to our district.


And while our facilities are second to none, we know that it is the people who make the difference in Prosper ISD. From our bus drivers to our teachers to our teacher assistants, our staff is here to support students as they pursue their dreams of excellence in academics, fine arts, and athletics.
