Where the Adventure Begins...
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Happy Friday, ECS Families! I hope you saw that earlier this week we emailed out our annual Parent Survey! We value your input and would really LOVE that you take a few minutes to give feedback on what you feel is going well and areas where we can improve. Thankfully, we now have the survey in Spanish and English! Thank you for your time!

Save the Date! This is our 10th year! Can you believe it? We will be having an ECS Birthday Bash immediately following Open House this year on April 23rd. Please mark your calendars so you can join us!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing all of your sweet children with us!!

Interested in Helping with Teacher Appreciation Week?
One of our sweet parents is organizing some staff events for the 2018-19 “Teacher Appreciation Week” which is May 6th - 10th. She is seeking parent volunteers to help in various ways. If you would like to be a part of the appreciation team, please contact
Courtnee Cruz Harden by email at courtneecruz12@gmail.com. Thank you so much!
Is Your Student Going to Kindergarten?!!!
Kindergarten Roundup is coming up April 1-5! We will be sending home letters next week, that will have information for you about Kindergarten Roundup at your home campus! Please take the letter you receive next week and the Student Placement Checklist, along with a gas, electric, or water bill.
Each year the district will send you an email with a SnapCode. This is to register them for school every year until they graduate or leave Frisco ISD. The district will be emailing SnapCode’s to you in late April. Once you receive that code, you will be able to log in and complete registration for your child’s Kindergarten year. You will not need a SnapCode to attend the Kindergarten Roundup in April.
SnapCode e-mail schedule:
- Student enrolled BEFORE April 12th - SnapCode email will be sent April 29th
- Student enrolled ON or AFTER April 12th - SnapCode email will be sent Mid June
ECS Parent's Place
I love to make sure you this easy way to ask questions, share suggestions, and let us know what we're doing well!
Here is the link to the ECS Parent Place! It's an online "bulletin board" where you can post anything. I'll also post my responses. You can post or just pop in to see what other's are posting!

I look forward to hearing from you!
The Counselor Corner
Our Pre-K teachers have been working with your children all year to prepare them for kindergarten. We are certain you have seen all the growth and progress our students have shown throughout the school year. Soon we will be sending them on to their first elementary school.
How can you help your child to be ready for kindergarten? If you have attended our Parent & Partnership Nights and our ECS curriculum Night, you know there’s lots of ways to support learning in your home. We want to encourage you to continue those positive habits the rest of the school year & throughout the summer. Spend time reading with your child each night, encourage conversations, and use every day experiences to teach math and writing. These activities will foster life-long learners.
Also, we are here to help. We will have a Tool Time on March 29 called Getting Ready for Kindergarten. You will hear from an elementary counselor about what your child will learn and experience in kindergarten. We will also have our data clerk to help answer questions about kindergarten registration. We hope you can join us.
