FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
We had a special visitor this week!! On Thursday, Superintendent Dr. Mike Waldrip visited ECS to get to know the students and staff and check out the various programs on campus. While here, he enjoyed a 'Taste of ECS' and sampled specialties prepared by those working in PPCD, Pre-K, Bilingual Pre-K, Speech, SLC, and ALC. After observing each program, he sampled treats which included: 'Kim's Sweet Cinnamon Rolls', 'Oni's Irresistible Empanadas', 'Maritza's Enchiladas', 'Lizzie's Tres Leches Cake', 'Van's One-of-a Kind Hot Water Cornbread', and 'Lindsay's Million Dollar Dip'! We were so glad to have Dr. Waldrip on campus to experience what ECS has to offer! Below are some pictures from his visit.
Please don't forget that we do NOT have school Friday, October 6th or Monday, October 9th. The 6th our staff will dedicate time to collaboration and data analysis to carefully continue planning lessons that are personally suited for your children's needs as we continue through this fall. This time to dive deep into instructional conversations help each of us continue to grow as educators and we want to be our very best for your children!
Good news! For those that ordered spirit shirts, we will be sending those home next week!
The cooler weather is FINALLY here! We hope you are able to spend some quality family time outside enjoying your weekend!
For Kids,

It's Time for Parent-Teacher Conferences!
Crosswalks
We have crosswalks in several locations around campus and they are there for a very good reason! These are protected spaces where anyone should be able to cross through our parking lots and carpool lanes safely. Please, please do NOT let your cars cover any part of our crosswalks. The safety of our children come first and we need your help. Thank you so much!
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.
