A Note From Principal Frandsen
Good afternoon, Surfside families!
I hope this message finds you well.
This is a great time to sit down with your Surfside student and review the current status of grades, attendance, and work completion. Also, it is the time of year that students will be engaging with a variety of different tests. The results of these tests are used in a variety of ways including determining students' academic progress, providing resources to our school, and for helping us determine what supports your student needs to be successful. Please encourage your student to do the best they can on these tests.
Should you have any questions or ideas, I'd love to meet with you.
Thank you,
Principal Frandsen
