Folsom Features

Our students work really hard both inside and outside of school and we want to recognize our students as often as we can!

This Week At A Glance

Together We Champion

We are proud of our fierce Folsom scientists. Our teachers champion great science instruction by making sure students have acess to hands on learning experiences and the ability to test out science concepts and thinking. Here are second graders using their knowledge of physical properties in order to create and test out a prototype. Also seen recently in science include fourth graders using knowledge of transfer of energy to create Rube Goldberg machines and first graders using their knowledge of systems to put together a flashlight!

Together We Cultivate

Congratulations to the House of Respect, our house winners for the month of September and our first winners of the year! We celebrated them with a parade through the halls on Wednesday and their flag is now proudly waving at the front of the school. We will have our first house meetings (where students will get to connect with other students in their house) when we return from Fall Break and will be continuing to affirm our expectations through the earning of house points!

Together We Empower

Our staff members are always learning. Pictured here is a group of our educators who went to training this week to learn more about systems of support that we have in order to ensure ALL of our students are learning at high levels and have access to responsive instruction. We are constantly growing as a staff and we pride ourselves on having educators who work at a very high level collaboratively in order to empower our students with feedback and great learning experiences.

Together We Prosper

We aer fortunate in Prosper ISD to have school officers and our very own Sergeant Smith was recognized at the school board meeting last week with a Lifesaving Award. The safety and security of our students and staff are our number one priority. It's important that we are working collaboratively in order to be doing all we can to ensure the safest possible experience while here at school and/or at district events. Thank you, Sergeant Smith!
