Family Engagement Plan
EMS ISD’s Pre-K and Kindergarten Family Engagement Plan highlights our partnership with families to support early learning and student success.
Nurturing and Safe Space
We realize that your child is still young and may not be able to do everything on their own. Whether your little one needs a shoe tied, jacket zipped, or help with opening a milk carton, teachers and staff will care for them no matter the need.
Your child is in a safe environment. There are procedures in place to manage any emergency.
Learn and Play
Highly qualified educators create lessons to engage your child through purposeful play, games, songs, activities, small groups, and more. You child will be exposed to lessons in STEM, reading, writing, and fine arts while they are in their classrooms. They'll also explore art, technology, music, libraries and physical education throughout the week during Specials. During Specials time, students will learn from another teacher who specializes in that area.
TEACHERS WHO CARE
EMS ISD is filled with Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers who are passionate their job and love their students. Veteran educators explain why they love their career:
"Kinder kids are so very sweet and loving! They will call me 'mom' and tell me they love me almost daily. It is the sweetest, most fun age. They are sponges and teaching them is so rewarding! My kids who leave me are always my kids, and my parents, too!"Ashlee Szymanski, KINDERGARTEN TEACHER AT LAKE POINTE ELEMENTARY
"I love teaching Pre-K because everything is new and exciting at this age. They love to participate and are not as shy as students in older grades. They always love their first teacher; who wouldn’t enjoy that?"Rocio Young, PRE-K TEACHER AT THE HAFLEY DEVELOPMENT CENTER
