๐๐ฆ Back-to-School Safety PSA from Prosper ISD Police! ๐ฆ๐
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:
๐ STOP! When you see a stop sign, make a complete stop.
๐ ฟ๏ธ Slow down in the parking lot! School parking lots can be busy.
๐ดโโ๏ธ Watch for bikes and scooters! They can be harder to spot.
๐ต Stay off your phones! Distracted driving is dangerous driving.
๐ถโโ๏ธ 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!

Food Dye Removal
Our commitment remains the same: serving safe, high-quality meals students enjoy.
That's why we're updating menus to remove certain artificial dyes and additives while continuing our focus on simple, recognizable ingredients.

Together We Prosper

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
