Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
Hello, ECS families! We have had such a fun week and really enjoyed seeing so many of you last night at Open House! We are so proud of all that our students and teachers have accomplished this year! Thanks to all of you who came. It was so nice to visit with everyone.
Earlier in the year, Frisco TV came out to do a story on the diversity on our campus! We love how diverse we all are and feel like it makes our campus unique and extra special! They caught some of our diversity parade and interviewed several of our precious little ones! Check out the video below!
Next week is a special week where we take time to show our teachers just how much we appreciate them! I can honestly say I have never worked for a more dedicated, nurturing staff as this one. They work countless hours and pour their hearts into all that they do for our children. Thank you for taking the time to let them know how much you appreciate them! If they have made half impact on your life as they have on mine, we are all truly blessed!
For Kids,
Melissa Ellis

When To Keep Your Child Home!
Students should not attend school in the following circumstances:
·
Signs of severe illness, including fever, irritability, difficulty breathing, crying that doesn’t stop with the usual comforting, or extreme sleepiness.
·
Diarrhea (2 or more episodes of loose stools in 24 hours). A child must be diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of diarrhea suppressing medications.
·
Vomiting two or more times in 24 hours, unless a physician feels the cause of vomiting is not an infectious disease and the child is in no danger of becoming dehydrated. A child should have two meals without vomiting before returning to school. Your child may be sent home from school for vomiting one time.
·
Temperature of 100 degrees or above. A child must have temperature below 100 degrees for 24 hours before returning to school without taking a fever reducing medication.
·
Questionable rash until a physician has determined the rash is not caused by an infectious disease.
·
Known communicable disease must be treated for the appropriate amount of time as directed by a physician.
·
Recommendation of a physician or school nurse.
If a child becomes ill while at school, faculty and staff do their best to isolate him or her and contact parents promptly to pick up their student. Please make sure we have current contact information so we can reach you!
