The Reading Under the Stars Committee is collecting empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls for an upcoming craft. Please send in any you have, every roll helps!

With Halloween right around the corner, there will likely be post Halloween costume sales, which could be a great opportunity to find a fairytale themed costume for your child at a discounted price.

Please be sure to read the attached flyer for all event details and guidelines. We’re looking forward to a magical day of imagination and fun!

Absences - Please make sure that that you are logging all absences into Skyward. If you have a doctor note, please email to windsong-attendance@prosper-isd.net

• Please bring your student car tag to dismissal.

• Headphones: Send headphones with your child’s name on them please.

• HOMEROOM APP: Please download this app CODE will differ per teacher.

• Please put a change of clothing in your child’s backpack.

• Please pack snack separate from lunch and make sure your child knows as well.

Dismissal changes - If you need to change your child's dismissal for the day (how they typically go home), you need to notify the office before 1:30 pm. Please do not solely email their teacher as they may not see the email until after dismissal. Additionally, if you have an older student as well, the office needs to be aware of the dismissal change for both. We can not rely on the older sibling to let them know. This is for the safety of all the kiddos. Thank you!
