Prosper ISD Academic Calendar

We’re looking for caring, committed adults to serve as mentors to Prosper ISD students. You don’t need to be a counselor or expert—just someone willing to listen, encourage, and show up consistently. Mentors meet with students on campus during the school day in a structured, supportive environment.

As a mentor, you’ll help students feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow into the confident, resilient leaders of tomorrow. We provide all the training and tools—you bring your time and heart.

Volunteer mentors will:

• Meet with students monthly, during the school day, for 30 minutes
• Build positive relationships rooted in trust and respect
• Serve as role models and champions for student success
• Help students develop confidence, character, and connection

Less stress, more clarity — that's the goal. This parent-friendly session breaks down what assessments actually tell us about your child, beyond just a number. Learn how to look past test scores and better understand your child's strengths and needs.

We are VERY excited about our students having the opportunity to participate in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) A+ Academics Competition in grades 2 - 5.

Students who are interested in learning about, practicing, and competing in these events will need to start prepping NOW for the events they are interested in at home.

You will be able to indicate areas of interest for your student. Please keep in mind that there may be conflicts with practice and/or competition times, and it may not be possible to participate in multiple events. If you would like your child to participate in UIL Academics, please sign up BEFORE September 18, 2026. The first UIL contests will begin in October.

Guidance Lessons

During the month of September we will focus on responsibility for ourselves and our actions. This week, 4th and 5th grade have guidance lessons.

Beanie Babies?

Mrs. Stenson is looking for beanie babies! If you have any you no longer want/need, please send them to WRE! We will use them as belly buddies when we practice our belly breathing in K-1.

Parent Needs Survey

At Windsong Ranch, we are dedicated to supporting every student’s academic success, post-secondary readiness, and overall well-being. To ensure our counseling services truly meet the needs of our school community, we invite you to share your feedback through our quick Counseling Needs Survey by September 11th. Thank you for partnering with us to create an environment where every student can thrive. Don't forget to check the counselor information in our weekly newsletter for ongoing resources, updates, and student opportunities

On Thursday, September 17th, all state mandated grades will have their vision and hearing checked as well as a quick visual check of their necks for the acanthosis nigricans marker (which can be an identifying factor of Diabetes) by our PISD certified screeners. These students will include all of Kinder, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade, as well as all new to Prosper ISD students. If you have any appointments to attend, please try to schedule them for after 2pm on this date.

Here are some tips to prepare your student for screening:

• If your student wears glasses or contact lenses, please make sure they are wearing them for the screening day

• If your student wears contact lenses on the screening date, please have them inform their screener

• Please no earrings on this day - many of the students state that the headphones for hearing screening hurt them as they press on their earrings

Please note, if your student is determined to need outside evaluation for either vision or hearing, you will receive a notice sent home. Please reach out to Nurse Palmer if you have any questions or concerns.
