Please send a parent or doctor's note explaining the reason for your child's absence. If written documentation is not received within three days of your child's return to school, the absence will be marked as unexcused.

Please send a good pair of headphones for your child. They will keep these in the classroom and we will use them daily. Earbuds work okay, but headphones are much better with little ears!

GMP stands for Good Morning Pink. It is a time for us to celebrate and show our Pink pride once a month as a whole school. You can look on Pink's website calendar for dates or contact your child's teacher. (Good Morning Pink starts around 8:00 am and lasts about 1 hour.)
Parents and guests are welcome to attend GMP. For the safety of our students and staff, visitors must enter the front entry doors to sign-in and receive a badge. Once signed in, visitors may stand on the sides or back of the cafeteria while students sit with their class.
Birthdays are a very special time for young children. The Frisco ISD School Advisory Council has recommended that as a district we continue to celebrate birthdays, but discontinue the food component of the celebration. The concerns for student health have increased, with the issue of children and allergic reactions to certain foods/food ingredients growing in particular. The treats parents are providing come from many sources and there is no real control regarding ingredients and/or the processing of the treats.
As Pink Elementary, we will offer students the opportunity to purchase a book for our library with a special nameplate attached, announce birthdays during morning announcements, and allow students to come to the office on the day of their birthday for a pencil, sticker, and birthday spirit stick. If your child has a summer birthday we will celebrate their birthday towards the end of the school year.
Per FISD policy, parent are not permitted to bring birthday items to school (balloons, cupcakes, goody bags, etc.) to share with the class in celebration of their child's birthday. Any items brought in will have to be sent back to the front office.
Birthday invitations are only permitted to be passed out only if there is one for every student on the class roster.
On Meet the Teacher Night there will be shirts available for purchase in the cafeteria. There will also be a form going home at the beginning of school for you to purchase t-shirts.
