Morning Arrival Reminders
Where does my child go in the morning?
- Students can begin arriving to school at 6:45am. If your child is arriving to school before 7:15am they will enter the side doors between the Gym and the Cafeteria. Parents, please use the Kinder/bus loop before 7:15am. All other doors will be locked until 7:15am to ensure the safety of our students and staff. At 7:15am the front and back main doors will be unlocked.
- Both the front and back of the school can be utilized during 7:15am-7:45am depending on the direction you are coming from on Somerville Drive. Kinder will continue to utilize the bus loop by the Gym/Cafeteria.
*If you have a student in Kinder and a student in the upper grade, please utilize the Kinder car line for drop off.
**ALL First Graders arriving before 7:35am go directly to the cafeteria!
Lunch Visitors
How can I limit what my child buys at lunch?
You can place restrictions on your child’s lunch account by contacting Eileen Johnson at emjohnson@prosper-isd.net . Restrictions can be as specific as “only allow ice cream on Wednesdays” or "only allow extras on Friday's". Please be sure to visit with your child about your family’s "extras" expectations.
Transportation Changes
Dismissal Reminders
- We will continue to dismiss A-L in the front and M-Z in the back, with Kinder dismissing at the bus loop.
*If you have a student in Kinder and a student in an upper grade, they will both be dismissed from the Kinder car line.
- Walkers will be dismissed through two designated locations, the gym and music room. Walkers MUST utilize the crosswalks with crossing guards.
- Parents must have the school provided car tag to pick up their student at the gym, or in a car line.
