Fronteras Spanish Immersion Charter School
Minutos de Mrs. Hutchins
Hello Fronteras Families,
WE MADE IT!
THANK YOU to our students who NEVER gave us an ounce of difficulty regarding the mask mandate.
THANK YOU to you, our parents, for your cooperation and support! We know the periodic class and whole school closures were difficult. We cringed each time that decision had to be made because we knew that like us, very fast adjustments to schedules had to be made. We are so grateful for how that information was received and carried out.
THANK YOU to the most incredible school staff. With each issue that arose, every team member went into problem-solving mode and worked together with kindness; giving grace where needed.
THANK YOU for a brilliant end to the school year! We look forward to seeing everyone in August!
Wishing you an adventure filled summer!
Please find a ton of awesome photos of your children throughout this newsletter. And please share this newsletter, as everyone likes to know that they’re famous. 😊
Most Sincerely,
Mrs. Hutchins
“Put your pencils down and close your books. No more teachers, no more school, you are free! Go lay down in the sun or watch a movie. It’s Friday! You deserve a break.”

Welcome Shelli Franckowiak!
My name is Shelli Franckowiak and I am very excited to be joining the Fronteras community!
I have been teaching art and photography for 21 years and hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Art Education. I started my teaching career in Wisconsin (Go Pack Go!) and moved to Alaska in 2004 by packing all of my worldly belongings into 10 Rubbermaid totes and mailing them “General Delivery” to Bethel, Alaska for a new teaching adventure! I firmly believe that art is a language, and I have a deep appreciation for the role art plays in all cultures. I love to travel and have a goal of visiting all seven continents, Australia and Antarctica are still on my bucket list. I’m also a working artist, creating and showing paintings and functional ceramics. When I’m not busy in the studio you can find me out on the local hiking trails, in my garden, or camping and fishing with my family.
Welcome John Eller!
Hola Las familias de Fronteras! Mi nombre es John Eller and I am so excited to be joining the Fronteras Family. I have been teaching for 14 years with a wide range of experiences in the education field. I have taught in two states, with the last 9 being in Alaska. Since coming to the Last Frontier, I have spent 6 years in the bush (Western and Southwestern Alaska) and three years here in the Mat-Su Valley. I have taught pre-k through 12th grade with my time split between SPED and Gen Ed. I attained a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University and a Master's Degree in Elementary Reading and Math from Walden University. I obtained my SPED endorsement from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.
I chose education after spending time in the Marine Corps and Law Enforcement, when I learned the value of education and the opportunities it can produce.
My family consists of three wonderful children and my beautiful wife. We also have our two dogs, Sunny (the labradoodle) and Bear our new dauchsund. I enjoy playing my ukulele or guitar when I am not spending time in the wilderness. I enjoy reading, coffee, and spending time with my family as well.
I look forward to our time together at Fronteras.
