🎉 Red Ribbon Storybook Character Parade Reminder & Weather Preparedness

Please join us for our Red Ribbon Storybook Character Parade this Friday, October 30!

🌦️ Weather & Pre-Registration: We are keeping an eye on the weather. Our plan is to hold the parade outside as usual, but we will move indoors if it rains.

To help expedite check-in if we need to move inside, we ask that parents pre-register using this sign-up document by 6:00 a.m. on Friday (10/30). Parents who do not pre-register will need to check in at the front office, which may delay entry to the parade.

👟 Costume Reminder: Please ensure your student wears shoes appropriate for recess and/or PE. Scary masks, weapons, and costumes that fully cover a child's face are not permitted.

Thank you for your flexibility and support! We look forward to celebrating with you!

Happy Principal Appreciation Month to our wonderful Mrs. White! 💕 Thank you for all you do to make Taylor such a special place! Your big heart, positive energy, and genuine love for our students and staff shine through in everything you do. Thank you for leading with kindness, laughter, and a whole lot of heart! We are so lucky to have you! 🥰💕

Here is a cute video our students made to celebrate you!

Over 4,500 Frisco ISD elementary students signed up for the recent 21-Day Snacking Challenge, part of the Kids Teaching Kids program created by Medical City Healthcare. As part of Kids Teaching Kids, high school students use what they’re learning in the classroom to create healthy recipes, educational videos and wellness resources to teach younger students about nutrition and healthy lifestyles. For the snacking challenge, families are surveyed about their child’s snacking habits both before and after the 21-day period, with results provided to the District. A special thank you to the elementary PE teachers who bring this program to life at their schools!

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), launched in October 2004, continues to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across our Nation and helps ensure that individuals, families, schools, and communities have resources they need to be safer and more secure online. The overarching theme for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026 is “Securing the Next 250.” #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
