We are thrilled to kick off the new school year with our district’s “Be Kind” shirts and sweatshirts! Orders will be processed monthly throughout the school year, so there’s no need to wait to place your order! The more shirts our campus sells, the more resources our Hope Squad will have to support and encourage our students throughout the year.

Thank you so much for supporting our campus, spreading kindness, and helping us make a difference!

Attendance Changes for 2026-2027

Doctor’s notes or other supporting documentation for an absence, may be submitted by completing the online Attendance Note Submission form and uploading your documentation within the form. Student's 8-digit ID numbers are required in order to complete the form, and may be found in Skyward Family Access. This process applies to both full-day and partial-day absences. Please note that a parent notification submitted through Skyward Family Access regarding a doctor's visit does not qualify as a doctor's note.

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.
