Dear Celina Early Childhood Parents,
We want to send a reminder that school starts at 7:35AM. Our doors look at 7:35 and if you arrive after that, your child will be marked as late/tardy. These do count towards truancy. Review the CISD policy on attendance so that you are fully informed. Once you enroll your child in Prek, attendance is not optional, and this includes being on time.
We are about to enter into a very busy fall season. Review the photos below to save the date. More information will come soon!
If you have not registered your child to ride the bus and now want to start accessing this service, you will need to email rachelhansen@celinaisd.com to start the process.
PTA membership update: The current group with the most PTA memberships are Mrs. Aldridge, Mrs. Goodwin and Ms. Schroeter. It is not too late to join. Scan the QR code below for more information. THe group with the most memberships will win extra recess and a popsicle party!

Sincerely,
Glenda Dophied - Principal

Welcome Bobcat Families!
Happy Friday ECS parents! We made it to our long Labor Day weekend and a little cooler weather. Fall will soon be knocking on our doors!
This week I visited classes and read, “Don’t Worry Little Crab!”. We talked about worry and healthy ways to cope with it. Another more popular word we hear in conjunction with worry is anxiety.
We live in a world where anxiety is a constant issue. COVID definitely amped up the incidences of anxiety as being the root cause of many health issues. Teaching our little ones how to cope with big strong emotions is an important part of their education. Whenever your children express worry, acknowledge it and help them see possible solutions and ways to cope with it. Worry, aka anxiety, is real to the person experiencing it. Be their cheerleader and help them feel safe to take the next steps.
This weekend will be an excellent time to take a walk, enjoy family time together and maybe a great read aloud. Here are my suggestions:
FREE little library
You will find this little library at our front door. This is a wonderful way to get new books in your home to read to your children. Leave a book, take a book, and read new books to your child!
If you need to change the way your child gets home, complete form BEFORE 1:30
School Cafe Lunch account setup - Be ready for lunch on the first day!
- Create a SchoolCafe Account: As we prepare for the new school year, please ensure that you complete the Free & Reduced Meal Application through School Cafe to allow eligible students to access free or reduced meals starting on the first day of school. All menus will be available online via School Cafe. Since it may take a few days for new students' information to transfer from Skyward to School Cafe, please either send money with your child or provide lunch during their initial days. Additionally, remember to add funds to your returning student's School Cafe account before the school year begins. This can be completed using this link: https://www.schoolcafe.com/CELINAISD.
CISD Academic Calendar
After this date, allow 2 weeks to get a bus number and routing information.

Note From Nurse Moore
Potty Training
Please email updated immunization to nurse carriemoore@celinaisd.com.
All medically and developmentally able students are expected to handle their own toileting (knowing when they need to use the restroom, asking or stating that need, handle clothing removal/replacement, and change clothes if needed) and cleaning (wiping properly, washing hands) on their own or with verbal cues alone.
Please send your student to school in clothes that are easy for them to pull up/down or take on/off for unaided or minimally aided restroom use.
Those students that require a change of clothing related to toileting accidents, spills, and/or food mishaps will wait in the classroom to minimize loss of instructional time unless deemed necessary to move the student to an alternative location for the student’s comfort.
Provide 3 sets of clothing: 2 sets (include 2 pairs of underwear, and any combination of the following: shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, or shorts and socks) Please place these in a zip lock storage bag with the student’s name, class, and teacher’s name on the bag. This will be left at school. The 3rd set of clothing should remain in your student’s backpack.
It is highly recommended that extra shoes be provided as well.You, as the parent or legal guardian, may be asked to come and assist with changing your student if necessary.
Thank you in advance for your support with this.
