Calhoun Ranger Report - 4/12

Dear Calhoun Early Childhood School Families,

What a meaningful and joyful time it has been in our district! Yesterday’s Hope Walk was such a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting one another and prioritizing mental health. It was incredibly inspiring to see our students, staff, and families come together with a shared purpose: to raise awareness, show compassion, and remind one another that no one walks alone. I feel truly honored to be part of a district that places such a strong emphasis on mental health and the well-being of every individual.

We are also looking forward to another exciting event this week...our very first Culture Night this Thursday! Our staff has been buzzing with excitement as they prepare for this special evening. We cannot wait to see our students and families proudly represent their cultures through clothing, traditions, and shared experiences. This is such a wonderful opportunity for all of us to learn from one another, celebrate the diversity of our community, and continue building the strong connections that make our campus so special.

We hope to see you there for an evening of celebration, learning, and community!

Warmly,

Principal Anderson

Each year, Prosper ISD gives back to the community for those families in need through a district-wide food drive. This service opportunity provides resources for Grace Bridge and Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors to replenish their food banks.

If you would like to contribute to this cause, please drop off any of the items listed in the poster below anytime 8:00-2:00 this week in the Calhoun front office. We appreciate your support for our community!

Our spring sign-up is live! Click the link below to schedule a time to come and join us on the playground!

🕢 Please remember that while our school time starts at 7:30am, we are outside and greeting kids starting at 7:00am. We have had very few cars arriving between 7:00am-7:20am. If you wait until the last minute to bring your child in the carpool line, you run the risk of arriving tardy. Please make sure to plan ahead and utilize the line before 7:15am. You will get in and out with no wait!

⏰ For safety and efficiency, students will not be released after 2:00pm. Please plan ahead for appointments or other time commitments to ensure your child is picked up before this time.

🚗 Please remember that we run two car lines at the same time:

From the North: Turn left into the left lane of the parking lot. This lane is for Piney Woods, Gulf Coast, and South Plains.

From the South: Turn right into the parking lot and use the right lane, which wraps around to the back of the building. This lane is for Big Bend, Hill Country, and Panhandle.

📵Please enter the parking lot with caution and avoid using your phone while driving. As you turn in, use your blinker to signal. This helps us clearly distinguish Calhoun families from neighborhood traffic and ensures a smoother, safer arrival for everyone.

Help me grow! I would love your feedback on how I am doing in my first year as principal. Thank you to those who have already completed the form. Your feedback has been so helpful!

If you attended our PTO events like Touch-A-Truck or our Family Engagement Night and had your picture taken by Panhandle Blended Pre-k Teacher, Adrian Gonzalez, he has kindly created a folder to house the great pictures he has taken of our families. I will keep this in the Ranger Report each week for you to be able to access at your convenience.
