Thank you, PTO, for putting this together!

From Mrs. O'Neal & Our Cockrell Hope Squad:

Hope Week will be held February 23rd–27th! The Cockrell Hope Squad will be hosting fun challenges to spread kindness throughout our school. Our dress-up days will be fun and meaningful, with each day focused on spreading positivity. Our goal is simple, encourage kindness and make everyone feel supported all week long. Cockrell Kindness Challenges will be added to our classroom morning meetings and we will be encouraging students to take part in spreading kindness each day. Thank you for helping us make Hope Week a great one!

If your child rides the bus regularly, or even occasionally, please ensure that his or her bus tag is connected to the backpack on a daily basis. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you would like to problem solve this together. Thank you!

Attendance Update:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

When turning in attendance please do 1 of the following:

Parent Note: submit your parent note in Skyward

OR

Doctor's Note: email it to cockrell-attendance@prosper-isd.net

You WILL NOT need to submit your attendance information in both places.

Thank you, Mrs. Holt (Registrar)

1. You will always need your Driver's License to check into the office.

2. If you are picking up your child early from school, please pick-up prior to 2:40 pm so our front office staff can focus on end of day safety, security, and dismissal procedures.
