📣 Big Kahuna Fundraiser Pickup

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29TH from 🕒 3:00 to 5:30 PM.

Due to the perishable nature of the products and no storage space at the school, items must be picked up during the scheduled time. 🚗

Please make arrangements to have your student’s order picked up, and thank you for your support!

🛍️Volunteers Needed! 🛍️

Our students have been working hard to earn Dojo points, and it’s time for them to start redeeming them at our schoolwide Dojo store! We need volunteers to help "sell" prizes, stock inventory, and track points spent.

📅 The store will run every Thursday from 12:00 pm-3:20 pm, with each class visiting every other week. Shifts range from 1 to 3 hours, and we’re looking for volunteers who can help on more than one Thursday.

If you're interested, please fill out this form.

Early Student Check-outs

📚 Regular attendance is a vital part of the teaching-learning process. Students should not be checked out early except for emergencies 🚨, hardships 😔, pre-scheduled appointments 🗓️, or activities prearranged with the administration 🏫.

⏳ To maximize instructional time, students leaving school early will be called to the office when you arrive to check them out. Parents must sign the student out ✍️, giving a reason for the early departure. If a student is leaving for a medical or dental appointment during the school day 🩺, a doctor’s note 📝 must be provided to the front office the following day to support the early release.

⏰ There will be no student check-outs after 3:10 pm unless pre-approved by the administration. Students who routinely check out early, without prior approval, will be referred to an administrator.

Dropping of School Lunches

🚫 We are asking that no more fast food deliveries 🍔🍟 be dropped off at the front office under any circumstance. We will no longer be delivering fast food to students in the lunchroom.

👨‍👩‍👦 Parents are welcome to join their student with the lunch of their choice 🥗🍱 if they are scheduled to be visitors. Please send your child with a lunch 🥪, or lunch will be provided by the school 🏫.

Dia De Los Muertos Celebration📅

October 18th, 2024

🎶 Before and after your student’s 3rd grade concert, you and your family are invited to explore the food and culture of Mexico at the Día de Los Muertos Celebration & Potluck in the gym from 5:30 - 7:30 PM.

🎨 LULAC and Frontier families will host traditional games, face painting, and an ofrenda to share this beautiful celebration.

While the event focuses on traditions from Mexico, we welcome potluck dishes from all cultures!

Feel free to bring a family recipe—just drop it off in disposable containers in the gym.

🍽️ Want to volunteer? Email Lilianna Ceja at cejal@frontieracademy.net to help with serving or leading an activity.

We can't wait to celebrate with you at Frontier Academy’s Día de Los Muertos! 🎉

📣 Important Policy Update for the Enrichment Program 📣

Due to the increasing number of children attending the enrichment program at 4:00 pm without being enrolled, we need to implement a new payment policy. To ensure we have the right staffing based on the number of enrolled children, it's essential to maintain proper ratios. When unregistered children attend, it disrupts this balance.

Starting Monday, 10/14/24, our late pick-up policy will be as follows:

Families will be allowed up to 2 drop-ins (up to 30 minutes each) at no charge.

After that, any additional drop-ins will incur a $45.00 fee, which families are required to pay.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! 😃

📅 Save the Date!

The Booster Club Fundraiser is coming up on Thursday, November 7th with a ✨ Glow Night at Rogue Play! This exciting event is designed for K-5 students.
