Hello Fronteras Families!

THANK YOU to ALL of our outdoor PE volunteers who helped out the last two weeks! Your support, time, and positive influence is GREATLY appreciated! We are so grateful to have so many folks willing to volunteer for outdoor activities! Thank you! Thank you!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our parents for being super diligent about notifying us when kiddos are sick, noting it in School Dismissal Manager & iParent, and following the district’s flowchart for returning to school! This is a huge help to us and because the flowchart is being followed so well, we are able to stay healthy AND OPEN!

Next Friday, October 2nd is our first Early Release Friday. Students are dismissed at 12:30pm. While there is afternoon bus service, there is NO Boys & Girls Club stop. That will remain in place for every Early Release.

Our annual Believe Kids fundraiser begins Oct. 1st. Mrs. Adams will visit each classroom that day, so watch for information coming home. Any fundraising that occurs at Fronteras is always voluntary participation.

Tuesday picture day was a super success, as was our Wednesday ALICE drill! We were so impressed with the entire school’s response and decision making. If your student has not shared what occurred during the drill, please ask them. They performed beautifully!

Hoping everyone’s weekend is fabulous!

Mrs. Hutchins

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.

• 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
• If your child requires assistance to exit your vehicle, please park in the parking lot to assist them
• After your child has exited your vehicle, please signal and pull into the left exit lane
• Please drive slowly and be aware at all times while on Fronteras campus
• If you don't see Miss Shawn standing at the first corner of the sidewalk for 2nd-4th grade entry; please drop your child at the front doors so they can collect a tardy slip at the office
