FVE NEWS
MARCH 2021
DEAR FRONTIER VALLEY FAMILIES:
We are excited to share that we will be launching a new school website after spring break! Ms. Pursley and a team of staff at FVE have been working diligently on migrating information from our old website to the new one. The new website is hosted by “School Messenger”, so it will be linked to DCSD communications. Not only does the website look great, it is user friendly and much easier to update! Our new web address will be:
fve.dcsdk12.org
We want to thank Ms. Pursley and our website support team at FVE for all of the work on this project!
As we approach the end of the third quarter of school, we want to remind our families that we will be holding parent teacher conferences next week! These meetings are a great time to celebrate the growth and success that your children have made this year, and to set new goals for the remainder of the year. Your child’s teacher will be reaching out to you to schedule your conference soon (or may have already done so). If you have missed your conference invitation, please reach out to the teacher to select a time to meet.
As always, we are so appreciative of the support and collaboration with our families!
Cheerfully,
Kiersten
PARENT INPUT FORM
As we begin planning for the 21/22 school year, we value parent input on class placement for next year. This form is optional to fill out, however, our parents' voices are a valued part of this process. We have a wonderful staff at FVE and trust all of our teachers, therefore, we are kindly asking parents to share qualities of the instructor that you are looking for rather than identifying a certain teacher by name. 2021-2022 school year optional parent input for class placement.
SAC & FVEA MEETINGS
Next meeting will be April 20th.
CMAS TESTING
As we approach spring, we would like you to mark your calendars for the following state testing dates. THESE HAVE CHANGED SINCE INITIAL INFORMATION WAS RELEASED. If possible, please avoid scheduling vacations, days off or appointments during these testing windows:
5th Grade CMAS ELA & MATH - April 7, 8, 9
4th Grade CMAS ELA & MATH - March 30, 31 & April 1

Please visit this LINK for a detailed schedule with testing times and the DCSD testing excusal process. ** The excusal form shows an outdated deadline. You can still submit at this time.**
THE FUN RUN IS BACK!
Presented by Boosterthon, Frontier Valley's epic fundraiser, the Fun Run, is scheduled on April 15th! We are hoping to hold this event outdoors, weather permitting. Our fundraising efforts this year will go directly towards technology updates and audio/visual equipment upgrades in our classrooms. More information will be coming soon from our PTO about this event!
