FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
We have lots of fun coming up next week!!
Tuesday night is CURRICULUM NIGHT on September 12th! It is probably the most important event of the year! It's an opportunity to come and listen to your child's teacher share all kinds of crucial information about what your child will be learning and how you can support them. It starts promptly at 5:30 and is a night for ADULTS ONLY. We hope that you will all make plans to attend!
Next week is COLLEGE WEEK! We want to teach our children that higher education is part of the plan for everyone! Please join us in these fun dress up days for your children.
Monday - Looking Forward to a Bright Future! (wear sunglasses)
Tuesday - Run Toward Your Goal (wear tennis shoes)
Wednesday - Hat's Off to College! (wear a hat)
Thursday - Show Your College Spirit! (wear a college shirt)
Friday - Oh, The Places You'll Go! (wear school shirt or dr. seuss)
Below you will find some important reminders for picking up your child each day. The most critical piece is to always have your car tag whether you are getting them directly from us or off the bus! Either way you need to SHOW YOUR CAR TAG. This ensures we are always putting the child in the right hands! Also, please, please pick up your child on time! They are ready for you either at 10:40 or 2:40!
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend with your children!
For Kids,

What Brings Your Family Joy?!
Attendance Reminders
Help for Hurricane Harvey Victims
The Frisco ISD Council of PTAs is working to coordinate the District’s donations through the Red Cross. FISD’s PTA leaders spent most of Monday conferring with the Red Cross and other councils to determine the best way for our staff and students to support Hurricane Harvey victims and displaced persons. The North Texas Council of PTAs are all working together to spread the word. Frisco ISD leaders request that any campus effort, even campuses without PTA groups, go through the FISD Council of PTAs.

Pick-Up Reminders for Cars and Bus!
Bus Pick-up Reminders
As a reminder please be early to the bus pick-up for your location. If you have the need to call the bus transportation dispatch the phone number is 469-633-6155. The bus is scheduled to leave your location at a designated time to pick up other students within the district.
Carpool Pick-Up Reminders
Please be mindful when picking your child up for the AM and PM session. The AM session ends at 10:40 and the PM session ends at 2:40. You precious children are excited to see you again each day at carpool. When students are picked up late it affects other meetings and schedules for teachers. We appreciate your support.
I Want to Hear From You!!
Hey ECS Parents! I have a forum called The ECS Parent Place! I have already had several parents comment or post questions and I have responded to those! I love it!
As your child's principal, I want to make sure I keep open lines of communication with all of you! I'm hoping to hear from more of you so I can know your questions, feedback, and praise. This helps me stay better connected with you and your perspectives. It's also a good place just to see what others are asking in case you have the same question.
