2023 National School Choice Week!
What is school choice? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. That’s why school choice is so important!
During the week of January 23rd - January 27th, Frontier students celebrated in various ways. Elementary students practiced and learned the NSCW official dance, some campuses drew pictures and wrote why they love their school, and many students from all schools proudly posed for school choice pictures.
