Our commitment remains the same: serving safe, high-quality meals students enjoy.

That's why we're updating menus to remove certain artificial dyes and additives while continuing our focus on simple, recognizable ingredients. To learn more about menu changes, click the button below!

We’re looking for caring, committed adults to serve as mentors to Prosper ISD students. You don’t need to be a counselor or expert—just someone willing to listen, encourage, and show up consistently. Mentors meet with students on campus during the school day in a structured, supportive environment.

As a mentor, you’ll help students feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow into the confident, resilient leaders of tomorrow. We provide all the training and tools—you bring your time and heart. All applicants must complete and pass a Prosper ISD Volunteer Background Check.

Volunteer mentors will:
Meet with students monthly, during the school day, for 30 minutes
Build positive relationships rooted in trust and respect
Serve as role models and champions for student success
Help students develop confidence, character, and connection

Questions: Email studentservices@prosper-isd.net or visit the Prosper ISD Mentoring Website.

Complete the Prosper ISD Mentoring Application.

Note: Applying does not guarantee placement. Mentors will be matched based on student need and compatibility.

Tuesday, August 11th is the 1st Day of School for the 26/27 School Year! On this day, parents may park and walk children to classrooms inside of the building. This is the only day that parents may walk into the building and to the classrooms with our students. Beginning August 12th, students will walk themselves to class with the help of all of the adults positioned inside and outside of our building.

As always, please park in a parking spot in the front or side parking lots. Do not park in the arrival lines in the front and back of the school.

If choosing to walk your child to class, parents will need to drop off at the classroom quickly and then exit the building no later than 7:45 am.

Student last names A-L will be dropped off and picked up in the front car line.

Student last names M-Z will be dropped off and picked up in the back car line.

All walkers will exit out of the side doors of the building by the gym.

Buses will exit from the side of the school by the gym.
