Kids Heart Challenge is here! Our students are learning how to keep their hearts and brains healthy, and raising funds to help kids with special hearts.

We’re asking all families to sign up and complete Finn’s Mission, where they will learn Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke. All students who sign up will receive a wristband.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Sign Up Today or download the AHA Schools app.
2. Complete Finn’s Mission: Share with family and friends through social media, text and/or email so they too can learn the warning signs of stroke and Hands-Only CPR.

Thank you for supporting our school and students in saving lives!

Absences - Please make sure that that you are logging all absences into Skyward. If you have a doctor note, please email to windsong-attendance@prosper-isd.net

• Please bring your student car tag to dismissal.

• Headphones: Send headphones with your child’s name on them please.

• HOMEROOM APP: Please download this app CODE will differ per teacher.

• Please put a change of clothing in your child’s backpack.

• Please pack snack separate from lunch and make sure your child knows as well.

Dismissal changes - If you need to change your child's dismissal for the day (how they typically go home), you need to notify the office before 1:30 pm. Please do not solely email their teacher as they may not see the email until after dismissal. Additionally, if you have an older student as well, the office needs to be aware of the dismissal change for both. We can not rely on the older sibling to let them know. This is for the safety of all the kiddos. Thank you!

Also don't forget to

• Dress appropriately for the weather
• Pack a dry snack that isn't messy
• Send a water bottle with your child (no other liquids in the classroom)
• Students should wear sneakers to be able to participate in PE
• Bring a sweater to class in case it's cold
• LABEL water, lunch, and sweaters/jackets
