Dear High School Families,
For all students attending the Frontier Academy Homecoming on October 4th, 2025:
As Homecoming is a school function, school rules and policies will still apply. Staff and security will be at the dance monitoring for individuals who may be under the influence of any substance that is not permitted during a normal school day. If any student shows symptoms of being under the influence of an illegal substance, parents will be notified and required to pick up their student, with possible consequences as stated in the school behavior discipline matrix. In addition, the police may be contacted if necessary. We want students to have fun and celebrate in all the appropriate ways!
Mr. Budzynski
Secondary (6-12) Principal
