FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Guess what! Tuesday night is CURRICULUM NIGHT! This is such an important night when your child's teacher will share lots of details of all the great instruction they will be providing your child this year. You will get to learn about all the different experiences they will have and even tips on things you can do to support their progress at home. This is a night for parents only. We ask that you keep all children at home, so that you will have some uninterrupted time learning from the teacher yourself! If your child attends an all day program, or comes to school during the morning session Curriculum Night will begin at 5:30. If your child comes to our afternoon session or attends one of our PSC/PLC speech classes, Curriculum Night will begin at 6:15. We hope to see all of you there!
I wanted to take this opportunity to THANK all the parents that drive their students to school! Everyone is doing a great job following our carpool procedures. Those of you who do drive have probably noticed our long carpool lines. We are already serving so many kids that it is hard to get every student out and in the building quickly. It would help tremendously if you would consider allowing your child to ride our ECS bus from your elementary campus to and from school each day! If you are willing to give this a try, let your teacher know and they can give you the exact bus times. Our students LOVE riding the bus and it helps carpool go so much faster. Riding the bus is like a field trip every day!! Thank you for considering that. (Please Note: The district does not provide transportation services for tuition students.)
As I mentioned last week, Frisco ISD has approved a TRE/Bond Election for November voting. There is more information below. Don't forget, the District is hosting public forums in the coming weeks to provide information and answer questions from community members.

The events will be streamed live on Facebook for those unable to attend in person. Just visit the Frisco Independent School District Facebook page at facebook.com/friscoisd to watch and join the conversation.
Voters must be registered by Oct. 9 to participate in the election. To learn more about the ballot propositions, visit www.friscoisd.org/bond-tre. Please be sure you are registered to vote so that your voice can be heard!

Car Seats are a MUST for ALL Our Students!
Just a reminder for all families, that for any child this age or younger you are required to have a car seat or booster seat. For any cars without car seats or booster seats, we will not be able to release the child to you. Please be sure to have appropriate car seats or boosters in your cars. If, for any reason, you need assistance obtaining a car seat, our counselor has resources to help! Please contact her. It is also super helpful to have their car seat on the right side of the back seat so we can load and unload your child with stepping into traffic. Thank you!
