Talk About It Tuesday: One of the ways our 4th & 5th graders get involved on our campus is by serving on Safety Patrol. These student leaders help welcome classmates as they arrive and set a positive tone. How can small acts kindness help others start their day on a good note?

🌧️ Weather Update 5 for Prosper ISD Families

After assessing current conditions and reviewing weather forecasts, Prosper ISD will be closed on Wednesday, January 28. While our facilities teams have worked throughout the day to clear sidewalks, doorways, driveways, and parking lots across all campuses, freezing temperatures overnight could refreeze what has melted today.

Even during a winter shutdown, the work continues behind the scenes! While schools and district offices are closed and we stay warm inside, our maintenance and custodial teams are braving the cold to care for our facilities. ❄️👏 It truly takes a village, and every staff member plays a vital role in creating safe, welcoming spaces for our students to learn and grow. We’re so grateful for this amazing team that shows excellence every day, in every way!

🌧️ Weather Update 1 for Prosper ISD Families

School will proceed as normal on Friday, Jan. 23. However, due to the potential for extreme weather beginning Friday evening, all after-school and weekend activities, fine arts, and athletic events and practices are canceled from Friday, Jan. 23, through Sunday, Jan. 25.

We will continue monitoring conditions closely with local meteorologists and emergency management and will share updates as we evaluate our status for Monday.

Stay warm and safe this weekend.
