Hello Arnold Families,
Welcome to Glenda Arnold ECLC! Our teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare our classrooms and hallways for a vibrant, inspiring new school year filled with learning, laughter, and growth.
At Arnold, we believe that a child’s educational journey is strongest when built on a close partnership between school and home. Throughout the year, our team will work hand-in-hand with you to foster your child’s social, emotional, and academic development.
Thank you for trusting us with your young learners. We are honored to welcome your family to our campus and we are ready for your child to begin writing their educational story with us.
Afternoon Dismissal
- Dismissal Time: 2:35 PM
- **If your child has an appointment that you need to pick them up for, you must do this by 1:45pm. Our office staff is preparing for dismissal after this time and cannot accomodate visitors.

Missing a Tag? If you have not received a dismissal tag, please contact your child's teacher as soon as possible.

ALTERNATE ROUTE ALERT
Dear Glenda Arnold ECLC Families,
Welcome to a wonderful new school year! I am honored to introduce myself as the Principal of Glenda Arnold Early Childhood Learning Center.
A little about me: I am starting my 20th year in early childhood education. I began my career as a prekindergarten teacher right here in Royse City ISD before going on to teach kindergarten. I hold a master's degree in early childhood education and am special education certified. My husband Aaron and I have two beautiful daughters, Kinsey (Sr.) and Kayla, (Pre-K). Early childhood education is my true passion, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every single student feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
At Glenda Arnold, we know that early childhood is a time of rapid growth, discovery, and excitement. Our goal every day is to cultivate a warm, nurturing environment where your child can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. Strong communication and collaboration between home and school are essential to that success, and I look forward to building a strong partnership with your family.
Thank you for trusting us with your young learners. We are going to have an incredible year together!
Kim Faulk
Principal, Glenda Arnold ECLC
