Monday Message/El mensaje del lunes

Dear La Escuela Fratney Families,

Welcome to our Monday Message! This is Ms. Grace, your Parent Coordinator. We hope you had a wonderful weekend.

We are excited to invite you to our Family Leadership Organization (FLO) meeting this Wednesday from 5:00–6:00 p.m. There will be food and fun activities for students, and we would love for you to join us to share your ideas and help plan our upcoming Family Movie Night. Your voice and ideas truly matter to us!

We would also like to warmly invite you to attend our Theme 2 presentation this Friday at 10:00 a.m. or 2:45 p.m. Our first- and third-grade students will be participating, along with several additional classes, including Mr. Blas’s and Ms. Annie’s classes. We hope you can join us to celebrate student learning.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership. Sending your child to school every day, on time, and well rested remains one of the most important ways you can support your child’s learning and success.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

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.
