FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Welcome Back to the 2016-2017 School Year!!
Dear Parents,
We are excited that the start of school is right around the corner, and we know you and your child are anxious to learn who their teacher will be this year. Previously we communicated teachers would be calling parents to share class assignment information. In order to offer efficiency and better accommodate busy family schedules, your child’s teacher will personally email you to let you know the exciting news and to welcome your child to their classroom. You should expect the email from your child’s teacher the afternoon of August 16th between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. The teacher will remind you about bringing supplies on Meet the Teacher Night, and we look forward to greeting you and your child at that time. In case the email is not received within the time period noted, you may contact the school office, or the information will be available when you arrive for the Meet the Teacher Night. If changes have been made with your email address since completing the online enrollment process, please contact the campus data clerk at earlychildhood@friscoisd.org to update.
You will get to meet your child's teacher in person on Wednesday, August 17th at our Meet the Teacher Night! It will begin at 5:30pm and end promptly at 6:30pm. Make sure to arrive early enough to allow time to meet your child's new teacher, drop off their school supplies, take a look around the school, and purchase our new spirit shirt if you'd like! ($12 cash only) This is always a fun night to get ready for that first day of school!!
Here are a few things we need you to do BEFORE AUGUST 15TH to ensure you are all set for school to start!
1. Submit a current proof of residency. This needs to be a utility bill. You can email it to
2. Complete your INFOSNAP for your child. We still have about 60 families who need to complete this. If this pertains to you, you should have received an email from us.
Often times parents would like to walk their child to class on the first day of school. That is such a special experience we want you to be able to do that if you would like! This does mean that receiving students and parking may take longer than a typical school day. We appreciate your patience as everyone gets used to our routines! After the first day, we will receive your child either directly from the bus or your car. For arrival and dismissal we always have one adult for every 1-2 children so they are always in someone's hand. Our biggest priority is to make sure they are coming and going safely. We want you to feel completely comfortable when your child is in our care.
Your child will come home the first day with a packet full of great information!! Be sure you look through all of it and return any necessary paperwork to your child's teacher. We always include a master calendar for all ECS events for this school year. We would love it if you would hang this somewhere in your kitchen, perhaps, to make sure you don't miss out on any of the fun! If you have any questions, feel free to email your child's teacher at any time.
Is there another parent or caregiver that would like to receive my weekly emails? Just email us at earlychildhood@friscoisd.org and give us that person's name and email address. We are happy to add them to my distribution list!
The building has just seemed too quiet without our sweet children here. We cannot wait for all of them to be here! We look so forward to our best year yet!!
For Kids,

I want to hear from YOU!
Hey ECS Parents! I've created a new forum called The ECS Parent Place! As your child's principal, I want to make sure I keep open lines of communication with all of you! I'm hoping this will turn into a great forum where you can post questions, feedback, and praise so that I can stay better connected with you and your perspectives. I look forward to hearing from you! Just click this link and then look for the hot pink circle with the plus sign. Click on that and you're on your way! I'll keep an eye out so I can respond to your posts.
