📣 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!

📚 ATTENTION ALL 3rd-5th GRADE READERS: BATTLE OF THE BOOKS IS HERE! 📚

The Battle of the Books is a reading motivation and comprehension program for 3rd-5th graders sponsored by Frontier Academy and District 6. To prepare for the Battle, students read 8 books (📖 See Book List), meet with their team, and discuss the books. During the Frontier BOB, teams are asked questions about the books. The 2 teams from each grade level with the most correct answers go on to represent Frontier Academy at the District BOB Competition. 🏅

Students: Not sure if you are interested? 🤔 Want to find a team?

Please come to the informational meeting in the library, 🕒 3:20-3:50 for STUDENTS ONLY on:
📅 Nov. 5: 5th graders
📅 Nov 6th: 4th graders
📅 Nov. 7th: 3rd graders

Parents/Guardians, WE NEED COACHES! 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Please fill out the Coaches Interest Form and come to the informational meeting in the library on 📅 Nov. 13, 🕒 3:20-3:50 PM. If you can’t attend the meeting, please email Mrs. Granrud.

For more information, including important dates and the Permission Slip, please see the FAE Library Website or email Mrs. Granrud at 📧 granrudm@frontieracademy.net.

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 🏫.

📣 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! 😃
