CTE Interview Day
As we continue to strive for excellence in preparing our students for the real-world challenges they will face, we are excited to announce an opportunity for you to play a crucial role in their development.
Our Career and Technical Education (CTE) department is organizing mock interviews for our students, providing them with a valuable opportunity to enhance their interview skills and gain confidence in a professional setting. To make this experience even more meaningful, we are reaching out to our wonderful parent community to request your support as volunteers for these mock interviews.
We believe that your unique experiences and insights will contribute significantly to the authenticity of the interviews. Your involvement will not only help our students practice and refine their interview techniques but will also expose them to a diverse range of professional perspectives.
Details of the Mock Interview Session:
Date: Thursday, March 21 and Friday, March 22, 2024
Time: 8:45am - 11:45 a.m. & 12:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.
Location: Prosper High School Library
What We Need from You:
Volunteer your time to conduct mock interviews with our students.
Provide constructive feedback to help students improve their interview skills.
Share your professional experiences and insights.
If you are available and willing to participate, please fill out the attached sign-up sheet by February 15. We will have half-day options available for each day that are scheduled from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1 p.m.-4 p.m. You can choose all four options, or only one, but we do ask that if you choose to volunteer, you commit to the full time of the slots for which you register. We understand that everyone has busy schedules, so any time you can spare will be highly appreciated.
Your support is invaluable to us, and we believe that together, we can make a significant impact on our students' journey toward a successful future. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we look forward to working with you to empower our students.

How to Check Your Student Out of School
All check-outs must be submitted through Skyward WITH AT LEAST 2 HOURS NOTICE prior to a student being picked up or released. When submitting a partial-day request, you must uncheck the all-day box and enter the time the student needs to leave the school. Partial-day requests entered as full days will automatically be denied. If we do not receive your request at least 2 hours prior to your students' check-out time or if the request is entered in Skyward after 2:00 p.m., it will be denied, and 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 provided. Please follow the instructions on the following link: https://www.prosper-isd.net/Domain/1034
