Frontier Parent Newsletter
August News
Note From Miss Rutan:
This has been the best start to a school year I've ever seen. Our students have come in and have been so ready to learn. They are showing their teachers their best and following the Frontier Way in all aspects of their day. We have really embraced our theme this year. We are "Anchored". Each day we cover different ways we are anchored to Frontier and how that makes us better learners. I've never been more excited to see what a year could bring than I have for this year. Our students are amazing and they are already showing us they are ready to set sail!
If you have any questions, or concerns please contact me at rutan.katie@westada.org or by phone at (208) 350-4190.
Sincerely,
Katie Rutan
Principal

Parking Lot Procedures
* Please remain in your vehicle during pick up and drop off. If your child needs assistance, please park and walk them to the sidewalk. This helps keep the line moving for all of our families.
*If a staff member is waving you ahead, please pull forward to allow more cars up to the front drop off and pick up area.
*Children enter at the front of the parking lot and not on the sides, this is for safety. We have numbered signs to help efficiently have students ready for when their parents' car pulls up.
