As our students head back to school, let's all do our part to keep everyone safe on the roads and in school zones! The Prosper ISD Police Department has some important reminders:
🛑 STOP! When you see a stop sign, make a complete stop.
🅿️ Slow down in the parking lot! School parking lots can be busy.
🚴♀️ Watch for bikes and scooters! They can be harder to spot.
📵 Stay off your phones! Distracted driving is dangerous driving.
🚶♂️ Look both ways at a crosswalk! Pedestrian safety is key.
Remember, when we say STOP, we mean a COMPLETE stop. Let's work together to help keep our kids safe this school year!

We are VERY excited about our students having the opportunity to participate in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) A+ Academics Competition in grades 2 - 8.

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 complete this form BEFORE September 18, 2026. Please complete a separate form for each student.
Competitions available for students to compete in are listed below. HERE is a link to the contest descriptions.

Introducing the Profile of a Learning Leader
The Prosper ISD Profile of a Learning Leader represents a shared, unified vision created through the collaborative efforts of our entire school community — including teachers, staff, administrators, students, parents, and community partners across the district. This foundational document captures the core attributes, values, and mindsets we strive to cultivate in every member of the Prosper ISD family. Serving as our guiding star, it embodies the leadership and learning aspirations we hold for everyone within our system, fostering growth, excellence, and continuous improvement from our youngest learners all the way to the superintendent.
This profile didn't start from scratch — it grew directly out of our 2025–2030 Strategic Priorities, which were themselves built through months of listening to teachers, students, families, and staff across the district. Once those four pillars — Together We Champion, Together We Cultivate, Together We Empower, and Together We Prosper — were set, small groups from across Prosper ISD came together again to answer a more personal question: what does it actually look like, day to day, for a student or an employee to live out these priorities? The Profile of a Learning Leader is the answer.
At Jones Middle School, this profile is more than just a set of ideals — it is an active, daily practice. As a campus community, we are dedicated to intentionally teaching, reinforcing, and building upon these core characteristics in all that we do. Whether through instructional practices, collaborative leadership, or daily interactions, we ensure that every student, educator, and staff member is supported in developing these traits. By embedding the Profile of a Learning Leader into our school culture, we create a supportive environment where every individual can achieve excellence every day in every way.
