Where the Adventure Begins...
Hey ECS Families!
Happy Friday! THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated! We have a goal of raising $10,000 for our one fund raiser and we are making good progress. So far we have raised $3500! We did a few calculations and if every student donated just $10 each we will reach our goal. I know there are some that are not able to donate at this time, and we completely understand that. I also know we have already had several families donate well beyond that and we thank you!
Every penny we collect will be spent on books that will be put directly in the hands of every child on campus. We know that being good stewards of this collection is an important responsibility and we take that very seriously. If you haven't had a chance to make a donation, there is still time! We are taking donations through Friday, November 20th! Just send in whatever you are comfortable with to your child's teacher with their name on the envelope.
Oh...and don't forget! Our top two donors will each receive a signed baseball!
Tuesday, November 17th, we look forward to our 2nd Parent Partnership & Performance Night!! Several of our classes will be performing. If your child's class is performing, your teacher has already emailed you details. If you haven't gotten any information, then your child's class may be scheduled for a night in the Spring semester.
Anyone is welcome to attend! We will begin at 6:00pm with a presentation on how to enrich academic and behavioral development of your children at home. We want to work together as a team to make sure our precious children are more than ready for Kindergarten! We hope that you will find the information and strategies shared most helpful and practical!
For Kids,
Melissa Ellis

What I Am Thankful For...
Thank you for letting me and our staff into the lives of your family. It is truly an honor.
Last Chance!
This is the last chance to order our spirit shirts for this school year. You can obtain an order form from your child's teacher. All orders MUST be turned in by November 18th. Much thanks!
Vroom
Would you like quick and easy suggestions for building your child's brain power? Check out this app at joinvroom.org. You put in your child's birthday and it gives you suggestions on how to turn shared moments into BRAIN BUILDING moments! I'm going to check it our for my 4 year old!
Want to Volunteer?!
1. Please complete your background check. This is something that has to be done every year. Here is the link:
https://forms.friscoisd.org/backgroundcheck/
2. Email your child's teacher or our librarian, Phyllis Jenkins, to let them know of your interest. jenkinsp@friscoisd.org
3. Check my weekly newsletters to look for opportunities to sign up for things!
Nuts & Bolts
If so, please be sure to send a note to school regarding the absence. Notes can be emailed to earlychildhood@friscoisd.org or placed in your child’s folder and sent to school. If you are unfamiliar with the attendance policy please visit http://www.friscoisd.org/ly/ParentsStudents/AttendanceInfo.htm for more information.
Have you scanned your license?
If you haven't done so already this year, please pop in the office to have your driver's license scanned. They have to be scanned once each year before you are able to attend events. If you scan it soon, then it will be super quick to attend parties or other events for your child during the school year!
