Together We Champion, This week, our first graders were fully engaged and energized as they explored the forces of push and pull using magnets! Students worked collaboratively to test magnetic strength, ask questions, and make predictions about what objects would be attracted to their magnets.

We loved seeing curious minds in action, wonder, excitement, and problem-solving filled the room as students discovered the power of magnets through hands-on learning.💙

We are so proud of the meaningful relationships our students have built with one another! This picture truly embodies, Together We Cultivate, as our students demonstrate inclusivity, support, and care for all. During Red Ribbon Week, we encouraged healthy lifestyles and celebrated the strong sense of community that makes our school so special. ❤️💙

We are so proud of our 5th grade students who represented Spradley Elementary at the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee! This opportunity allows our students to share their voices, contribute their ideas, and make a positive impact beyond our campus. The Superintendent’s Advisory Committee empowers our students to lead with confidence, think critically, and engage in meaningful discussions about their school community. We couldn’t be prouder of their leadership and representation! 💙✨Together We Empower

Creating traditions together is what makes Spradley Elementary so special! Our Trunk or Treat event was filled with fun, laughter, and excitement as students, families, and staff came together to celebrate the season. Events like this remind us that when we come together as a community, we grow stronger and truly prosper. ❤️🎃 The joy and connection shared at Trunk or Treat reflect the heart of who we are, a supportive, spirited, and thriving school community!

• Label Belongings to Prevent Lost Items!

  We’ve noticed an increase in lost and left-behind items at school—jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and more. We truly want to help you get these items back to their owners, but it can be difficult when things aren’t labeled.

  Please take a few minutes to write your child’s first and last name, along with their grade, on all personal belongings using a permanent marker on the inside or in a clearly visible spot.

  Tip: Stickers and labels often fall off or fade, so a permanent marker works best!

  By labeling items, you’ll help us return things quickly and save your family time and money. Thank you for helping us keep our lost-and-found pile small!

  🔹 Please note: All unclaimed items from the Lost and Found will be donated on November 12, 2025. Be sure to check before then!

  
  

• Attendance Information - If your student will need to miss more than five (5) consecutive days of school, the district requires a brief, in-person meeting prior to the absences with our Assistant Principal, Ms. Beste.

  This meeting is a crucial step to review important attendance information and discuss the necessary next steps following an extended absence.

  Please email Ms. Beste directly at enbeste@prosper-isd.net to schedule your meeting time well in advance of the planned absences.

  
  

• To help keep things moving smoothly, we encourage you to teach your child how to enter and exit the car independently. Remind them to open the door and exit once the car has come to a complete stop.
