A Note From Principal Frandsen
Good afternoon, students and families!
It is with a very grateful heart that I write this message.
My gratitude is anchored in the unique and incredible school that I get to lead - a school full of excellent student and staff leaders. This is evident in all the great things that are happening around Surfside's campus including our FAFSA workshop for families, our elementary choir singing for the whole school, our championship basketball team, our student-led spirit club activities, and much more! All of these events are a product of the students and staff who stepped up to make these things happen. Also, please know that you can be kept up to date on Surfside events if you follow us on Twitter using our Twitter link (@SurfsideOUSD). We would love to have you follow us!
If your student is enrolled in direct instruction, please remember that there are only two weeks left in the quarter and all assignments need to be completed and turned in as soon as possible.
Finally, we would greatly appreciate it if you would take a moment to log on to Great Schools (https://www.greatschools.org) and report your appreciation for Surfside. Our school truly is a unique gem serving an incredible student population and we are excited about continuing to grow as our school buildings are modernized and expanded.
Have a great weekend!
Principal Frandsen
