Rising 5th Grader Jaguar Journal

Incoming 6th Grade Announcements
We are excited to begin planning for the 2025-26 school year and to guide you and your student through the course selection process. Please review all the essential details about course selection to ensure a smooth experience. Middle School Course Selection opens on February 3rd in Skyward and closes on February 21st. This is not first come, first served so take your time!
Review the Course Guide and Worksheet
The first step is to sit down with your student and review the 2025-26 Middle School Course Guide and the 6th Grade Course Worksheet. The course guide provides descriptions of all available courses and contains a wealth of information to answer most of your questions.
Course Selection Requirement
We ask that every student completes the course selection process, regardless of plans to stay in the district, transfer to another Prosper ISD middle school, or move out of the district. If your student is relocating within Prosper ISD, their course selections will transfer to their new school. For families moving out of the district or choosing alternate educational options, completing the course selection process still helps us assess staffing needs for our growing district.
Need Help?
If you have questions, please start by consulting the course guide. If you still need assistance after reviewing the guide, we’ve created a centralized form for all course selection inquiries. This form is accessible to all three counselors and Ms. Travers, our counseling assistant, to ensure your questions are addressed promptly.

Below is a video your child has already viewed at their elementary school. It provides helpful information about required classes, elective options, fine arts and PE requirements, as well as detailed instructions for entering courses into Skyward.
