Reminders
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!
Also don't forget to
- Dress appropriately for the weather
- Pack a dry snack that isn't messy
- Send a water bottle with your child (no other liquids in the classroom)
- Students should wear sneakers to be able to participate in PE

- School Lunch Program - Menus, how to add money and nutrition information
- Volunteer Background Check - Anyone that wants to volunteer throughout the school year is required to complete a background check. I always encourage all parents to complete this at the beginning of the year just in case they would need it!
