Minutos de Sra. Hutchins
Hello Fronteras Families!
Thank you to everyone who attended our two conference days! I enjoyed being able to say hello and brew you a cup of coffee! Unfortunately my barista skills leave a lot to be desired, so thank you for your patience!
School picture re-takes are Monday, October 30th. Please tell your chid(ren) if they are getting a re-take, so they know to come to the gym when their class is called. We have no way to know which students are getting re-takes, so please, please, please, tell your student.
Fronteras will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31st. Check with your child’s homeroom teacher for a schedule of events or volunteer opportunities. Costumes may be worn all day. Costumes must be appropriate for the school environment. Please no excessive blood or gore. Any misbehavior or misuse of any costume piece that could result in an injury to self or others, will result in the loss of privilege to remain dressed in costume. Teachers will determine if costume face masks may be worn in their classroom. Lastly, students are invited to dress as a Dalmatian to help Cruella collect as many Dalmatians as possible for a fun photo!
Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend!
Most Sincerely,
Mrs. Hutchins
