๐ Windsong Weekly: October 11, 2025
Dear Windsong Ranch Elementary Families,
It's the final days to make an impact by donating to our Boosterthon. Please help us reach our $60K goal by getting those donations in today. The last time I checked we were at just over $38,000...wow!!! Every gift brings us closer to supporting our students and programs!
Donโt miss out! Monday is the last day to sign up for a Fast Pass to attend the Windsong Stampede as a spectator. Badges can be picked up at the side door nearest the big playground.
A friendly reminder about bike safety. For everyoneโs safety, students should walk their bikes and scooters while on campus and not ride until they reach the sidewalks, off school grounds (at Copper Canyon and Redstem). Please remind your students to follow this rule to help keep arrival and dismissal safe for all.
Enjoy the long weekend and we'll see you back at the Ranch on Tuesday morning.
Together we Prosper,
Michelle Qualls

โญ Important Notes
Important Walker Dismissal Information
We continue to work closely with Prosper ISD PD and the City of Prosper to keep our students and families safe during dismissal. Please be mindful of where you stop or park. Unsafe or illegal parking can create congestion and may result in traffic citations. A few important reminders from the Texas Transportation Code:
It is illegal to stop, stand, or park on a crosswalk.
You cannot park in front of driveways, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, or within 30 feet of a signal, flashing signal, stop, or yield sign.
Bicycles may be parked on the sidewalk as long as they do not block pedestrian or other traffic.
Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and smooth for everyone!

๐ Windsong Ranch Elementary's 2025-2026 Strategic Priorities
Together We Empower
Together we empower all Windsong Ranch Elementary staff to be leaders, by providing growth opportunities and professional development to help every staff member reach their full potential.
Prosper ISD partners with N2 Learning as we work towards growing leaders on our campus. Mrs. Wilcox, 3rd Grade Teacher, is attending this year's Teacher Leadership Institute and was featured in the most recent article. Click here to read how it is making an impact on her professionally.
Together We Cultivate
Together we cultivate meaningful connections across our growing school community.
Each week, different Raider athletes join us at morning drop-off to open car doors and welcome students with big smiles! Theyโre helping build connections and model leadership while starting our studentsโ days on a positive note
Together We Champion
Together we champion every studentโs path to excellence through consistent use of the Workshop Model to strengthen Tier 1 instruction, drive growth, and build future-ready learners.
Hands-on learning helps students make deeper connections by turning ideas into action. When students explore, build, experiment, and create, theyโre actively engaged in discovering how things work. This approach strengthens understanding, boosts problem-solving skills, and makes learning memorable and meaningful. Our 5th grade teachers partnered with our Librarian, Mrs. G, to bring circuits to life. Students explored the different parts of a circuit and had to determine what was needed to make a lightbulb turn on, fan blades to move, and a buzzer to buzz.
Together We Prosper
Together we prosper by actively involving our Windsong Ranch Elementary families as partners in education while also fostering a sense of Prosper Pride that unites our entire school community.
Thank you for taking the time to attend parent-teacher conferences. We appreciate your partnership in supporting your childโs learning and growth. Your involvement and collaboration make such a difference. Weโre grateful for your continued support and trust in us as we work to make this a great year for your child!
