Flu, Coronavirus and Other Illnesses

Preventing the Spread of Infection.

Prosper ISD follows the guidance and expertise of national and local health officials to help protect our students and staff from all communicable diseases. While there are no reports of this illness in our area, families are encouraged to visit CDC website for more information and travel guidance regarding the Coronavirus.

Below are helpful reminders related to flu-like illness prevention when we return from spring break:

• Students and employees MUST stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe..

As a further reminder, students and adults who traveled to the countries listed below or who have come in contact with someone diagnosed with the novel Coronavirus (referred to as COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2) are asked to report to the County Health Department and quarantine themselves at home for the time period as determined by the County Health Department.

Middle School Color Guard Rehearsals

Who can participate? All Hays, Reynolds, and Rogers 8th grade students.

What is Color Guard? We’re the section in the marching band who dance and spin flags, rifles and sabres.

Where will rehearsals be held? We will have a sectional at each middle school, and then several rehearsals at PHS.

When will these sectionals & rehearsals occur?

Wed, March 4th: PHS, 4:30 - 6:00

Wed, March 18th: PHS, 4:30 - 6:00

Wed, March 25th: PHS, 4:30 - 6:00

Fri, March 27th: PHS Arena, Parent Performance, 7:00pm

Why should you do middle school color guard? If you’re interested in trying out for the Prosper Guard or the Rock Hill Color Guard, then these rehearsal clinics will teach you some of the fundamentals of color guard.

How do I do color guard? Do I need to have prior experience? Most color guard members learn how to spin a flag and dance by coming to rehearsal and learning with our awesome teachers and staff members. It takes a little bit of patience and a lot of practice, but you can learn how to toss a flag in no-time, all you have to do is try!

Hope Squad

What is a Hope Squad?

Our Hope Squad is the eyes and ears of our school. It is comprised of students who are trained to watch for at-risk students, signs of depression, anxiety, etc–provide friendship, identify warning signs, and seek help from adults. Hope Squad members are NOT taught to act as counselors, but rather, are educated on how to recognize signs of suicide contemplation, and how to properly and respectfully report this to an adult.

For more information: HOPE SQUAD

Watch D.O.G.S.

We are looking for Dads to volunteer as Watch DOGS here at Reynolds! Our Watch DOGS help us by monitoring the hallways and lunchroom, in addition to having positive interactions with our staff and students. Please reach out to Assistant Principal Adam Jinkens (akjinkens@prosper-isd.net) for more information.
