Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
Dear Parents,
Hey everyone! We have had another great week here at ECS. This coming Tuesday night, October 4th, is our first Parent Partnership & Performance Night! We are so excited to share some great tips for natural ways to incorporate great reading, writing, & math skills into your family time at home. We will be sharing this presentation with parents every time we have a student performance. So you only need to attend the night your child performs! Of course, if you'd like to catch it more than once, everyone is always welcome! We are looking forward to sharing with you and watching our children perform!
Each year we have one fundraiser to raise money to spend on purchasing items that will benefit our students. We have been able to purchase leveled children's books, a variety of resources for each of the classrooms, and various equipment needed on campus. We will be launching this year's One and Done fundraiser October 6th where you can make a one time donation to show your support for our school! No amount is too small and we appreciate everyone who is able to participate!
Have a wonderful weekend!
For Kids,
Melissa Ellis

Attendance Reminders!
· Send all absence notices to: earlychildhood@friscoisd.org
· If your child accrues a combined total of 10 unexcused absence, tardy, or leave early, you will be in violation of the State of Texas Truancy Laws (Texas Education Code 25,093).
· Absences due to extended trips or vacations will always be unexcused. If traveling for more than 5 consecutive days, an extended absence form must be completed.
· A written note or email from a parent may excuse an absence due to illness for up to 4 days, after the 4th day, the parent shall provide a note from a physician.
· Calling in to let us know your child will be absent does not excuse the absence.
· We must receive all excuses within 3 days of the student returning to school.
· State law requires school children to attend school each day that instruction is provided. The law applies to children 6-18. If you voluntarily enroll your child in Prekindergarten before the age of 6, school attendance laws apply to your child.
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. We've had two posts so far this year! Thanks!
