Surfside Shark Bite's
Week of: 1/30/23 - 2/3/23
A Note From Principal Frandsen
Happy Friday, Surfside!
As students continue to work hard in completing their assignments, please keep in mind that President's Week is coming up in two weeks. It's a perfect time to recommit to excellence in terms of both attendance and work completion. Should students need help, there are multiple opportunities for support or tutoring available to students. Please contact your teacher(s) for more information.
We are excited to announce that the Surfside modernization process is continuing to move forward. The architects have established the basic layout for the school and will be working on the renderings over the following months. We hope to see some of the improvements beginning to take shape next year and continuing for three to four years.
Have an incredible weekend!
