1st Grade News

Wow, September is here already! It feels like we just opened our doors for the first day of school, but we are officially four weeks in and our classroom routines are in full swing! The students are adjusting wonderfully to our daily schedule and showing so much growth every single day. We are so proud of them! Keep up the great work reading the blending lines each week with your child. Please remember to check your child's take-home folder daily and send a labeled water bottle to school each morning. It gets HOT at recess! Thank you for your continued partnership at home—let's make it a fantastic September!

Love,

First Grade Team💜

Attendance/Absences:

There is a change this year for doctor’s notes or other supporting documentation for an absence. They should now be submitted by completing the online Attendance Note Submission form and uploading the documentation within the form. Student's 8-digit ID numbers (900...) are required in order to complete the form, and may be found in Skyward Family Access. This process applies to both full-day and partial-day absences. Please note that a parent notification submitted through Skyward Family Access regarding a doctor's visit does not qualify as a doctor's note. If you have any questions, please reach out to our registrar at windsong-registrar@prosper-isd.net.

Please remember to bring your car tag to pick up your child at dismissal. If you do not have your car tag, you must come into the office with a valid ID for us to release your child to you. If you are unable to pick up your child, only people listed on your emergency contact list on Skyward will be able to do so. Please have them bring their ID with them to the office for verification. Thank you!
