Note from the Principal

 I am sorry to share the sad news that a third grade student’s father passed away last weekend. Our Prospect hearts are heavy for the Okuyamas and our thoughts are with the family now.  

I have been in touch with the Prospect PTO and third grade parents as they have expressed an interest in supporting the family at this time.  Feel free to contact room parent Valli Gupta (vvgupta@gmail.com), if you are interested in supporting the family further.
