Principal's Message August 16, 2020
Furr Elementary ...GROWING LEADERS!
First Week of School...Completed!
It's hard to believe that we have the first week of school under our belt. I'm not sure who is more excited to be back at school, our staff or our students or me! And to hear the sounds of children in the building, laughing and learning, whether they are virtual or In-Person, is a sight to behold! School is now in session!
Week 2- Monday, August 17, 2019
Education, the pillar and platform for all generations, is once again changing as we speak. In most recent times, the structure in which education is being delivered to children, is in the most transformational stage ever experienced by public schools. There are many factors and facets that mold education and all are under reconstruction. This is a process that will, inevitably, take some time. Prosper ISD, for the first time in history is offering 2 learning choices...Remote Learning or In-Person Learning. Both are viable formats for students to succeed in learning new curriculum and putting into practice, the application of what they have learned. As an Administrator, I am very excited for this change...this new model that we are providing for our students. The time has come to relook at all educational structures and make them better than they were before. We are all experiencing the infancy of this new learning platform for our district, our town and our nation. With this change comes opportunities to learn as we go. AND, that's what we (You & I) do best...Learn as we go. Parents, through all of this transition, I thank you for your patience and your grace as we grow together in this educational transformation.
Dismissal Procedures are continually being analyzed to make the end of the day as efficient and SAFE as possible. We work hard to make sure ALL of our students are where they need to be for pick-up time. No child is ever unattended. Parents, please make sure that if there is a transportation change for a certain day, that you tell our front office staff by 1:30PM. Please do not email the teacher. Teacher's are instructing and will not be keeping up with emails. By calling the front office (Farah Husain), this will GUARANTEE that your child's teacher will get the message. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS.
CROSSING GUARDS: Prosper ISD and the City of McKinney have worked together to place strategically, our CROSSING GUARDS around the school. Safety is the key factor as to why we have crossing guards. Parents, whether it's the START of the day or the END of the day, please respect our guards. Their job is to keep EVERYONE safe!
