Dear Parents,

 

This February, we will continue to hold parent-teacher conferences for grades 6-12 via Zoom. These will be held Tuesday, February 18th, and Wednesday, February 19th, from 4:30-7:30 pm. We have received consistent positive feedback from parents regarding Zoom conferences. In particular, parents appreciate that there are no lines to wait in and they know when each teacher is available. In addition, teachers can see more parents than before. 

 

We will provide a form to sign up in advance via Sign Up Genius, so if you would like to conference with a particular teacher, watch for more information and signup links in the next few weeks. Parents must sign up well in advance of the conference date. Check your Spam folder for the emailed Zoom links as the date gets closer.  These Zoom link emails usually come via Sign Up Genius and not from the teacher email accounts.

 

If it is more helpful to meet in person, teachers are available to meet after school throughout the year, by appointment only. Please work with individual teachers to arrange a meeting time.

 

Thank you for supporting our students and teachers!


🐻 NHS Stuffed Animal Drive 🧸❤️

📍 Drop-off Location: Frontier Academy Foyer
📅 Dates: 2/3/2025 – 2/13/2025

The National Honor Society is hosting a 🧸 Stuffed Animal Drive to support young patients at the hospital undergoing treatment. Your donations of new or gently used stuffed animals will help bring comfort and calm to kids facing tough times.

Secondary OPT is Now: S. T. A. C.
Secondary Staff and Teacher Appreciation Committee

Why the change?

Our middle and high school parents and guardians are very generous with their donations and resources, but most don't currently have the time to serve on a consistent committee. This change allows us to celebrate and support our teachers and staff with single-serving gifts, donations, and events without the long-term commitment

Sign up to help with teacher appreciation week:

Email: cookk@frontieracademy.net for more information

This committee is new and open to your feedback! Please feel free to reach out and ask questions or make recommendations- Kelly Cook STAC representative for the Executive Committee - cookk@frontieracademy.net
