Spradley Spotlight Staff Updates
September 09, 2023
It's hard to hide that Spradley pride!
Team Spradley,
You are AMAZING! I want to first thank those that have already completed our Campus Feedback Survey. If you haven't completed it, please do so by Monday, 9/16. I want you to know that I appreciate your honesty and transparency. WE HERE YOU... The feedback that you have shared will help our team make better decisions. We want to support you. We want to take things off your plate. We want to know when you are overwhelemed. With your help, we will do our best to continue to refine our campus practices and trust the phenomonal educators that we have on campus. Again, thank you.
Stay strong team. The administrators are working on a special gift that will afford you the gift of time. We know we can't cover every person at the same time, but we have an idea that will provide periodic relief throughout the week. Stay tuned for more information.
This week, don't forget to:
- Review the 5 District Observational Points
- Sign up to be a Campus Professional Development Presenter
- Review our campus Plan-On-A-Page.
- Be familiar with our 3 campus goals:
- Innovative Learning
- Equipped and Empowered Educators
- Engaged Families and Community
- Lock all portable exterior doors during the school day.
- The TEA/Regional Service Center will be conducting Intruder Audits at multiple campuses within Prosper ISD. We expect these audits to start in September and go through May. Remember daily the importance of ensuring that all exterior doors remain secured and free of debris that could possibly cause one to be unsecured.
Have a restful weekend.
We are Spradley, and we are "Planting Seeds of Success".

Reading Academy Participants
