Note from the Prosser School District-

One of our schools recently received some feedback about a few books in our new reading curriculum. We are currently reviewing this material internally and will be assembling a work group to vet the books we are using. If you have any questions, please contact your building principal.

This is a friendly reminder that Heights Elementary School does not have supervision for students until 7:50am. Please do not drop off your student before then. We have construction workers, vehicles, and tools around school in the morning and supervision is necessary to keep your student safe!

When dropping off your student please pull forward as far as possible! Many parents are dropping off their students in the morning. Pull forward as far as you can, so we do not back up traffic on Miller Ave.

Thank you for your help with keeping our Stallions safe.

Housel Middle School is still in session until 2:50pm. If your student walks to Housel Middle School, please remind them they are expected to be respectful, responsible and to follow school rules. Failure to comply with these rules may result in disciplinary consequences. We appreciate your help with keeping our Stallions safe and allowing Housel Middle School Colts to continue to learn.
