FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Welcome Back to the 2017-2018 School Year!!
Hello everyone and welcome! The Early Childhood School staff is so excited and looking forward to the new school year. Teachers have been working tirelessly this week to put the final touches on their classrooms in preparation for Monday!
We know that many parents would like to walk their child to class on the first day of school. Arriving to school on the first day is such a special experience and we want you to be able to do that! Please remember that arrival time and parking may take longer than a typical school day. Thank you for your patience as all our families become acclimated to the routines. Following the first day of school, we will receive your child either directly off the bus or car. For arrival and dismissal, we always have one adult for every 1-2 children so we can ensure they arrive to their classroom safely. Our priority is to make certain our students are arriving to school and leaving school safely. I want you to feel completely comfortable when your child is in our care.
If you haven't already you will be getting a packet full of great information. Please review the information and return necessary paperwork to your child's teacher. If you have questions, feel free to contact your child's teacher.
I'm sure many of you are hearing about the solar eclipse on Monday. Because your child's safety is our first priority, we will be staying indoors during that event. We don't want to risk one of our children not understanding the importance of protective eyewear and take them off at the wrong time. We will just be getting to know our young students and do not feel the risk of their safety is worth it. We so appreciate your understanding.
We enjoyed meeting so many of you this past Wednesday at our Meet the Teacher event. We also have enjoyed more than a week of learning together as a staff. I know I can speak for my staff when I say that we are energized and inspired and more than ready to start our best year yet!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
For Kids,

I want to hear from YOU!
Hey ECS Parents! I have a 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 place 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.
