Ryley's Rapid Review 8/31/18
Friess Lake Elementary School
Welcome To Friess Lake Elementary School!
Friess Lake Learning Community,
Welcome to Friess Lake Elementary School. We are proud of our dedicated, caring, experienced staff and kind, talented students!
At Friess Lake we look forward to partnering with you to ensure that our children reach their potential. We believe that all of us, the school and the community, must work together in an extended family environment to ensure success for all our students. We believe it is everyone’s responsibility to empower children with the innovative, intellectual, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, physically, and emotionally successful and an influential part of our community.
With that in mind, we would like to invite you to be an active participant at Friess Lake School. Whether you are a classroom volunteer, a member of the PTO (HHops), special event participation, you are encouraged to be involved! Research on schools clearly articulates that parent engagement in their child’s education correlates with a greater likelihood of academic success for their child.
It is our goal to keep you informed of all that is taking place at school. Current information will be sent to you though the weekly “Ryley's Rapid Review”, district newsletters, as well as ample communication for your child's teacher. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a call. I look forward to having a long-lasting relationship with you and your family.
Warmly,
Ryley Laird

Parent Advisory Friess Lake Elementary School is seeking interested parents to form a parent advisory committee. The purpose of this committee is to provide feedback to building administration to enhance the learning opportunities and environment provided to children. Meetings will follow a formal agenda, but also have room for casual conversations, parent concerns, and questions. This group will consist of a well-rounded representation of the school community. Interested parents should complete the form below.
Meetings will be held one day per month, during the school day at the Friess Lake School Library. Each meeting will last approximately an hour. Mr. Laird will notify parents if they have been selected to join the group. Selections will be made at random. Specific dates and times will be selected after the group is formed.
