Hello Fronteras Families!

What a fantastic week at Fronteras! Thank you to Mr. Morteo and Mr. Shane for chaperoning our students in the gym Tuesday morning during our staff meeting! Your generosity of time is very very appreciated! Thank you parent, Christine Wagner, for helping with Picture Re-Takes! Having your assistance is a huge help, and we are very appreciative!

Looking ahead to next week; Monday and Tuesday, all certified staff will participate in a half-day CHAMPS workshop with retired Master Teacher, Counselor, and State Mentor, Lisa Stewart. CHAMPS stands for Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, Participation, Success! Teachers will learn how to “CHAMP” their lessons, transitions, hallway, lunch, labs, assembly behavior, etc. All which leads to improved student learning and ownership.

Fronteras will celebrate Halloween on Wednesday the 31st. Staff, students, and all guests are encouraged to dress up and join in the fun throughout the school. Most class parties will begin around 12:30pm. Ask your child’s teacher(s) for specific plans and/or needs. Please remember to send winter gear with your student(s) that day, as recess is still on the schedule. Please keep our costume protocols in mind:

· No blood or gore

· No lingerie

· No weapons

· No masks - except with teacher approval during class party

Parent Conferences are Thursday, November 1st in our school gym from 7:30-11:00am and again 12:05-3:00pm. Parents will receive Quarter 1 report cards at the conference. We look forward to seeing you!

Can you believe it is almost November? The school year is speeding right by! Our Christmas Bazaar will be here before we know it! Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Wishing you a fabulous weekend!


Most Sincerely,

Mrs. Hutchins

Behavioral Expectations

Behavioral Expectations

Parents,

Now that the school schedule has been established, it is still important and necessary to remind your child of behavioral expectations.

When arriving early, it is important that students remain quiet and still while waiting to walk to class at 7:50am. Please encourage your child to remain quiet and still so that the front desk Divas can hear phone calls and answer guest's questions.

Thank you for your support!
