To help streamline our daily end-of-day procedures, we are transitioning all dismissal changes to a simple online form. You no longer need to call the front office and this keeps a paper trail of your request. Please note that our daily cutoff time remains the same: all changes must be submitted by 1:30 PM each day to ensure our staff can safely route every student to their proper location. To make updating your child's pick up quick and easy, please bookmark this link so you can access it whenever you need it!

Pursuant to state law, Prosper ISD requires parental consent for instruction on this lesson. This was part of the back to school forms you filled out during the enrollment process. All students without an opt in will not participate in the lesson.

These lessons will take place from October 26- November 13.

This year our Yearbook Cover Contest will be open to all grade levels! We would like students to create a picture on 8 1/2 x 11 paper keeping the school wide theme "The Magical Yet" in mind. All entries are due by October 26th. Please include the student's name on the bottom of the entry along with their teacher's name and do not laminate. The winner will have their picture on the front cover, runner-up will be placed on the back cover, and all other entries will be displayed inside the yearbook.
