Mark your calendars to attend our OFFICIAL Walnut Grove Dedication Ceremony. We will have performances by our amazing Band, Cheerleaders, Orchestra, Choir and Silver Elite! It will be an amazing evening at The Grove as we officially celebrate our opening!

Each week we want to spotlight the amazing WG staff and the incredible things that are going on in our classrooms. Our spotlight will feature our staff showcasing the PISD Instructional Observation Points of Frequent Student Discourse, Meaningful Student Engagement, Effective Inquiry and Questioning, Constructive Feedback and Appropriate Use of Technology. Please check out the section below to see just a few examples. GO CATS!

Each week our staff sends shout outs to each other and thought it would be great for our families to see not only the AMAZING things we have going on at WG but also the encouragement and appreciation our staff has for each other! Click on the link below to check them out! GO CATS!

While Grover enjoyed his time in the WAC last week, it's time for him to make one last visit before the break! The first person that came to mind was Ms. Aldaco in the front office. She has been so kind and extremely helpful in getting our FCA organization up and running. I'm super thankful for all she does for our campus staff and students! ...the matching wasn't planned!

Grover spent a week in the training room learning all the ways to help support and aid our Wildcat student athletes! Grover has now made his way over to Coach Allison's office where I know he will learn all the ends and outs of off-season football! Coach Allison is the heart and soul of all things Walnut Grove Athletics! We are so lucky to have him lead our athletic department, where he sets the STANDARD everyday!

Grover has greatly enjoyed his time learning Triangle Congruence in Geometry, but it was definitely time for a change. He will be spending this winter break with..........JENNIFER MORENO!

• If your child needs to leave campus for ANY reason, a request must be submitted via Skyward at least 2 hours prior to when the student needs to leave. When submitting a partial-day request, you must uncheck the all-day box and enter the time the student needs to leave the school, pay close attention to AM and PM, as well as which student you are submitting for. Partial-day requests entered as full day requests will be denied. Absences entered into Skyward are automatically coded as Parent Notes, there is NO need to submit a parent note via wghsattendance@prosper-isd.net. The attendance email address is for Doctor/Dentist, DPS, court, University visits, etc.
  

• Make sure that notes submitted cover all dates you need and include the student’s name.

• ALL Skyward requests entered after 2:00 PM are not guaranteed. When checking out in person for the first time a parent, guardian, or emergency contact will need to come into the front office to check the student out of school; when doing so, a government-issued I.D. must be shown to staff. ALL checkouts (Skyward & in-person) will be halted at 4:00 PM.

• Skyward also has an app that makes the checkout process much easier. Please consider downloading the app and using this option to make the process easier.

Students feeling ill while in class need to go to the nurse rather than just solely contacting their parents. This allows for them to leave class and to be closer to the office upon check-out.

*If your student is involved in a WG program and you'd like to get something highlighted in our newsletter please reach out to that Director or Head Coach to make sure they submit the information in the form provided to the staff each week.

We have put together a one stop shop for all things clubs and student activities! This is a great resource for our students to find new ways to get involved or stay up to date with their clubs and organizations.

We have made a wish list to better showcase the types of materials that are used by our students in the innovation lab. We will accept items in new or used condition.

We are excited to introduce our Teacher Tutorial Website to help students plan for any tutorials they may need for their classes. This is a live website and will be updated throughout the year.
