Dear Raptor Families,
Winter weather has arrived! This is a great time to check in with your students and support them in wearing appropriate clothing to school and to dress in layers. We do try to go outside every day, so long as the weather allows. As a reminder, our school hours are 8:35 am – 3:35 pm. Students can be dropped off starting at 8:20 am.
Next week we have our last Boys Basketball game on Monday, November 11th, versus Sunset Middle School. On Tuesday, November 12th, we have the Middle School Band Concert in the Auditorium at 6:00pm. On Wednesday, November 13th, Frederick High School is hosting their Open House. This is a great opportunity for our 8th grade students and families to make connections and visit the high school.
As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. 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
