Stuber Family,

One of the best things I can do for our commuity is open up our school doors so you can see firsthand the incredible things that happen here on a daily basis. Last year we started what I refer to as Parent Instructional Walks. This is an opportunity for you to see learning in action - nothing scripted, nothing rehearsed - just the amazing things that happen here, every day. I offer four of these opportunities throughout the year, with out first opportunity coming up on Friday, September 25th from 9:00-10:00. I will take a small group of parents (around 10) to see what instruction looks like kindergarten-fifth grade. We will spend around 3-5 minutes in each grade level so you can get a holistic view of learning on our campus. After our walk, we will come back and debrief as a team. This is an opportunity for you to ask me any questions or share any wonderings you may have about learning in our building. I got such great feedback from parents who took advantage of this opportunity last year. I hope you will sign up and experience the same Stuber Vibe that I get to experience every day. Since we will visit classrooms with students present, you must have your volunteer background check completed.

SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE SIGN UPS

It is time to sign up to participate in the Scripp's National Spelling Bee. Prosper is proud to have had the #6 speller in the NATION last year from the 10 million students who participated.

The 2026-2027 Prosper ISD Spelling Bee will take place in several levels.
At the first level, campuses will host a written test. Our Regional Sponsor only allows participation in grades 3 - 8 so that is what Prosper ISD will honor as well.

The top 20 (maybe more if there are ties) students from those tests will compete in the Campus Spelling Bee held in November in a traditional Spelling Bee oral format.

The Champion from each campus will advance to the District Spelling Bee on December 10, 2026.
The top 6 students from Prosper ISD will advance to the Collin County Spelling Bee held in February 2027.
The top 3-6 students at the Collin County Bee will advance to the Dallas Regional Bee. From there, winners will advance to the National Bee.

Please check the message at the end of the google form for a link to the study words and a link to download an app to help with studying. Per the rules, we can not post these publicly.

By completing this form, you are giving your permission for your child to participate in the Prosper ISD Scripp's National Spelling Bee preliminary contests and for your child to represent Prosper ISD in the contest should your student advance. Additionally, by completing this form, you acknowledge that your child's name and image may be used by Prosper ISD and the Scripp's National Spelling Bee organization when acknowledging winners and grant permission for that use.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM SEPARATELY FOR EACH STUDENT THAT YOU WANT TO SIGN UP FOR THE BEE who is enrolled in Prosper ISD in grades 3 - 8!

THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

Less stress, more clarity — that's the goal. This parent-friendly session breaks down what assessments actually tell us about your child, beyond just a number. Learn how to look past test scores and better understand your child's strengths and needs.

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.

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

Our instructional day starts at 7:50. It is so important that our students are in their seat and ready to learn by this time. Every classroom is engaged in morning meeting where strong relationships are formed and school expectations are reviewed. This block n the morning is so important to the culture of our school. Setting your alarm just 10 minutes earlier ensures students are there for this important time.

If your child does arrive late, we need to you walk your child into the building and check them in through our kiosk. We will place a sign out front with this reminder beginning on Tuesday. Please do not drop off your child at the door. We need you to ensure your child starts their day off right!

One of the things we love to do is shout out our Stuber community. We have such wonderful people that help to support our school; we want to make sure they hear about it. Here's how we handle each one of these:

Student Shout Outs

Student Shout Outs will be highlighted by our Stuber Broadcasting Team twice per month. This will honor student achievements outside of school. We know our students are doing some pretty incredible things with Boy/Girl Scouts, sports, dance, cheer, theater, academics, etc. and we want to celebrate them. All you need to do is a quick write up so our news crew can tell the story. Feel free to add a picture. Unfortuantely videos are too large to send through Google form. Student Shout Outs will begin in September.

Teacher and Staff Shout Outs

Our teachers and staff work so hard and there are often things they do behind the scenes that we would never know. We would love to share the love with them through your words and encouragement. All you have to do is fill out the quick form and we will take care of the rest. I can tell you this absolutely makes their day when I drop a shout out from a parent on their desk. Your words make a difference!

Parent and Community Shout Outs

This is new this year! We have so many wonderful parents who help support our school in the very best ways. If you would like to shout out a parent, fill out the quick form and we will take care of the rest. Our parents deserve to hear how their actions make a big difference in our school.

Our clubs are starting to get rolling! In order for your child to participate in a club, we must have the below form filled out. Some clubs require an additional application or audition, however, we still must have this form completed by each student's parent who wishes to participate. More clubs will continue to be added throughout the year.

Author Josh Funk is visiting Stuber on October 23rd for kindergarten - third grade students. If you would like to order one of his books to be signed, click here for more information.

It's time for the Daddy/Daughter Dance. Secure your tickets today!
