FISD Early Childhood School
Where the Adventure Begins...
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Hello everyone! Thanks for such a great week! Thank you so much for those that came to curriculum night! If you were not able to make it, teachers will be posting those presentatons on our website for you to reference. They are full of important information related to your child's education this year.
For those of you who ordered t-shirts, those have all been submitted to our t-shirt company and we are just waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they do we will get those sent home with your child. Thanks for your patience!
This week our campus leadership team was able to visit every Pre-K and PPCD classroom together! This team consists of our two assistant principals, our instructional coach, and me. We were looking for foundational supports that we know to be effective for classroom environments and supporting students. They are all doing such an excellent job! We also saw teachers diving deep with supporting student learning. In some of our PPCD 3 year old classes, teachers have already posted student "writing" and identified the developmental stage of writing for those students. For 3 year olds that can look like marks or scribbles on a paper that convey a message. So what looks like a scribble to us, your child may say it's a bear! This is the beginning stages of learning to write and they are ALL off to a fantastic start! At home as your child scribbles or draws and tells you that it means something, praise and encourage them! Tell them what great writers they are! We want them to connect joy with the act of writing, and it all starts at this early age!
Thank you for sharing your precious children with us! It's an honor to serve you and your families! Have a wonderful weekend!
For Kids,

Phone Info!!
There are often times we need to be able to reach you concerning your child regarding their education, an injury, an illness, etc. Please, Please make sure we have at least 2-3 working phone numbers on file and that the voicemails are set up so that we can leave you a message if you aren't able to answer. It is always heartbreaking when we have a sick one and we are unable to reach the parents so the little one can get home where they need to be. Thanks for staying connected with us!
And please remember that legally you should NOT be on your cell phone during carpool at any time. It's against the law. Thank you for adhering to this law to help ensure the safety of everyone, but especially our children!
