FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
Dear Parents,
ONE AND DONE! We are officially kicking off our annual fundraiser! Monday and Tuesday we will be sending home an envelope with each student. We are asking for each family to make a one time donation to our school. You can send in cash or check in whatever amount you feel led to donate. We will use all the money toward materials for our classrooms that students will use directly. This will help us purchase books, manipulatives, toys that support motor development and social skills, and other classroom resources that will maximize learning. This is our once a year fundraiser so please consider making a donation to support ECS!
Thank you, in advance, for allowing us to serve you and your sweet children. Have a wonderful weekend!
For Kids,
Melissa Ellis
Principal
Early Childhood School
Flu Shot Clinic Coming to ECS!
Passport Health/ North Texas Flu Shots will be conducting flu shot clinics at FISD schools. The clinic at ECS is Friday Oct. 21, 2016 from 3:30pm to 5pm in the ECS Cafeteria.
Several insurance plans are accepted. A parent or guardian MUST accompany students. Only cash or check will be accepted. Parents, you are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity too!
Attendance Reminders!
· Send all absence notices to: earlychildhood@friscoisd.org
· If your child accrues a combined total of 10 unexcused absence, tardy, or leave early, you will be in violation of the State of Texas Truancy Laws (Texas Education Code 25,093).
· Absences due to extended trips or vacations will always be unexcused. If traveling for more than 5 consecutive days, an extended absence form must be completed.
· A written note or email from a parent may excuse an absence due to illness for up to 4 days, after the 4th day, the parent shall provide a note from a physician.
· Calling in to let us know your child will be absent does not excuse the absence.
· We must receive all excuses within 3 days of the student returning to school.
· State law requires school children to attend school each day that instruction is provided. The law applies to children 6-18. If you voluntarily enroll your child in Prekindergarten before the age of 6, school attendance laws apply to your child.
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. We've had two posts so far this year! Thanks!
