Monday Message/El mensaje del lunes

Dear La Escuela Fratney Families,

This is Ms. Grace, your Parent Coordinator with the weekly Monday Message with important reminders and exciting updates for the week ahead.

Family Movie Night – This Friday!

This Friday, we are excited to invite all families to our second free Family Movie Night of the year! We will be showing Dog Man, and all students who attend will have a chance to win Dog Man books, plushies, or blankets. We hope you can join us for a fun evening together. Bring cash to purchase food and beverages for future family events. Please remember to return the paper RSVP from your child’s backpack or complete the RSVP linked in this Monday message.

Support for Movie Night

Our number one request this week: if you are able and interested in sending food to school this week, we would greatly appreciate donations of chips or cookies to sell during the event. Thank you for helping make this night special for our school community.

School Expectations & Personal Items

As a reminder, La Escuela Fratney is a learning-focused school with a healthy snack policy. Balloons, toys, cell phones, candy, and other personal items are expected to stay home at all times. In alignment with the MPS Code of Conduct, school staff may confiscate personal items, phones, or candy brought to school. Thank you for helping us maintain a focused and safe learning environment.

Pajama Day – Friday

This Friday will also be a schoolwide Pajama Day to help us get excited for Movie Night after school. Please note that slippers, plushies, and blankets should stay home during the school day.

Attendance Matters

Finally, we want to remind families that being on time and present every day truly matters. Every minute of every day counts for your child’s learning. Attendance tends to drop during the winter months, but we love having your child in class each day. Students who attend school consistently learn more and do better.Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support. We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Are you interested in volunteering at La Escuela Fratney? We welcome volunteers to support with arrival, lunch, and recess times. Per our school policy, families are not able to volunteer in their own child's classroom on an ongoing basis. If you are interested in volunteering in classrooms, it must be a different classroom and be organized and approved through the parent coordinator Ms. Grace.

Here is the paragraph from the MPS Family manual that describes the volunteer process:

Family Volunteers

Persons interested in volunteering are encouraged to follow the appropriate volunteer application process defined by the district. MPS defines a volunteer as a person who provides services on an ongoing or one-time basis. Persons looking to serve on an ongoing basis or for more than five hours a week or for an overnight field trip must complete an online volunteer application, pass a criminal background check (for those 18 years of age or older), and receive a volunteer assignment by the school administrator or parent coordinator. Persons looking to participate in a daytime field trip or other one-time activity must complete a volunteer waiver form. The online volunteer application and the volunteer waiver form are available on the MPS website under the Families tab > Volunteer.

There will be one calendar for the whole district again this year. Please review this calendar before making plans for trips or vacations. Students must be in school 95% of the time or more which means they can only miss 1 day a month the whole school year. Students who miss more than 10 days of school a year fall behind academically and socially. Make a plan now to be in school every day on time.
