1st Grade News

We are officially in the groove and full steam ahead! Your first graders are doing an absolute knockout job mastering class routines, building up their reading stamina, and bringing so much bright energy into our classroom every single day. You can keep that fantastic momentum going right at home, too! Cozying up to read together for 15–20 minutes each night is the ultimate way to nurture a lifelong love for stories. Plus, taking just five quick minutes to cheer them on as they slide their sounds together on this week's blending lines sheet will do absolute wonders for their reading confidence. Thank you for all your wonderful support—let's make it another amazing week!

Love,

First Grade Team

Attendance/Absences:

There is a change this year for doctor’s notes or other supporting documentation for an absence. They should now be submitted by completing the online Attendance Note Submission form and uploading the documentation within the form. Student's 8-digit ID numbers (900...) are required in order to complete the form, and may be found in Skyward Family Access. This process applies to both full-day and partial-day absences. Please note that a parent notification submitted through Skyward Family Access regarding a doctor's visit does not qualify as a doctor's note. If you have any questions, please reach out to our registrar at windsong-registrar@prosper-isd.net.

Please remember to bring your car tag to pick up your child at dismissal. If you do not have your car tag, you must come into the office with a valid ID for us to release your child to you. If you are unable to pick up your child, only people listed on your emergency contact list on Skyward will be able to do so. Please have them bring their ID with them to the office for verification. Thank you!
