FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Welcome Back!
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! We would like to welcome everyone back from the winter break and hope that all were able to enjoy the time to relax and participate in some memorable activities with family and friends. As we move into the second half of the 2016-2017 school year, we want to welcome any families who are new to us!
Thank you for reestablishing those good routines of arriving to school on time prepared for the day. It is very helpful when students come ready with their supplies, lunch (if they bring from home), and jackets. Please be sure to keep all your child's clothing items labeled with their name so we can help them keep up with it all! We also appreciate your patience during arrival and dismissal as more cars go through the car line. We are aware that our carpool lines are taking a little longer as our enrollment numbers grow. We have reworked our duty schedule to increase the number of hands on deck. We hope to see cars getting through our lines more quickly as we continue to ensure every single child gets into the building safely.
Such a heartfelt thanks to all of you and the support you give our teachers. It is a difficult job that we love to do and take the responsibility of caring for your children very seriously. Thank you for trusting us with your precious little ones. We look forward to a wonderful 2017 Spring semester with you!
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. Thanks!
