Fronteras Spanish Immersion Charter School
Minutos de Mrs. Hutchins
Hello Fronteras Families!
Happy 2021! It’s great to be back together! Second semester is going to be fabulous!
Students and staff did another outstanding job during our ALICE and fire drills this Wednesday and Thursday. Everyone’s confidence and calm is impressive!
On Tuesday, our 8th grade students met with Career Tech High School (CTHS) principal, Jason Ross and pathway teacher, Trish Zugg, to learn about the CTE courses & certifications available at Career Tech. Students also learned that all our district high schools work together to offer CTE courses regardless of where a student is enrolled full time. If you are interested in learning more about CTHS, check out their website at: www.matsuk12.us/cte
Next Monday, January 18th is a holiday. No school for students and staff.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
Most Sincerely,
Mrs. Hutchins
“My goal in 2021 is to accomplish the goal I set in 2020; which I should have done in 2019 because I made a promise in 2018 which I planned in 2017.”
Clarification of COVID Symptoms and Time at Home
There have been some questions about how long a student is required to stay home when a parent self-reports their child has a symptom from the COVID symptom list. When a student has a COVID symptom, they can come back when they receive a negative test result, are home for 10 days and symptom free for 24 hours without being on fever reducing medicine, or get a doctor’s note that it is not COVID related. This is true if they are screened at school or by a parent at home.
Morning Drop-Off Safety Requirements!
- PARENTS MUST STAY WITH THEIR CHILD UNTIL 7:45AM
- Please pull ALL THE WAY forward in the drop-off line regardless of where your child enters the school
- The school sidewalk is a drop-off zone only, please do not get out of your vehicle
- The school sidewalk is a drop-off zone only, please make sure your child is ready and can exit your vehicle independently
- Please have all of your children exit your vehicle on the sidewalk side only and not on the traffic side or on the rocks by the playground

FY22 School Calendar Planning
This week, the District will be sending a survey to all staff and parents soliciting input on next year’s school calendar. The survey asks for preferences related to school opening, both time of year and time of week, as well as preferences for parent conferences. We anticipate that the survey will be open for two weeks and will use the feedback collected to make a recommendation to the Board regarding the 2021-2022 school calendar. Due to the unique circumstances that exist for this year, we are not planning to recommend a multi-year calendar to the Board and will not be convening the School Calendar Planning Committee. We do hope to bring the committee together next fall to take a more comprehensive look at the school calendar and propose a multi-year schedule at that time. We appreciate any support you can provide to encourage individuals, both staff and parents, to share their perspectives through the survey, which can be accessed here.
