Dear Raptor Families,

We have a few events that will take place next week before we head into the Thanksgiving break. On Tuesday, November 19th, there will be a Drone Show at Frederick High School at 6:30pm. There is more information below. On Wednesday, November 20th, there is a PTA Meeting in the Library at 5:30pm.

Next week, as we head towards Thanksgiving Break, please encourage your students to stay the course and to continue to focus on learning. It is important that we make each day count. Please also remind your students to make sure to continue to dress in layers as we are now experiencing much cooler weather.

We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best wishes,

Catrina Estrada, Principal 

Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal 

Matt Romig, Assistant Principal 

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students

Celebrate your child’s FIRST QUARTER birthday by joining the Birthday Book Club and donating a book to the school library in their name! Each child who participates will have their name inscribed on a bookplate on the front endpaper of the donated book. We will take a picture of the birthday child holding their donated book and they will get the first chance to check it out. 

Here are two ways to participate:

1)  Bring cash or a check in to the school and we will 

     purchase and process the book in your child’s name.

2)  Select one of the books from our carefully chosen Wish List by visiting 

     The Birthday Book Club list on Amazon:
