Frederickson Elementary

Trunk-or-Treat is back! Join us on Thursday, October 29th for our annual Frederickson Elementary Trunk-or-treat event! Dress up, trick-or-treat safely and see your friends! Costumes are welcomed and encouraged, but no weapons/toy weapons are allowed. This is not a drop-off event: All students must be accompanied by an adult. This event is for Frederickson Elementary families only.

The PTA has organized a candy competition for Trunk-o-Treat! Starting October 7th, bring in your candy donations to the front entrance near the office and drop them off in the Candy Monster that is for your grade! The grade that brings in the most candy will win a party of their choosing!

Want to decorate your car and be one of the stops on the trick-or-treat walk? Sign-ups here!

For over a decade, All Bethel Community Day (ABC Day) has brought neighbors together to celebrate the spirit, talent, and connection that make our Bethel community thrive. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the new Bethel High School. Admission is completely free. Whether you are coming to catch a performance, grab lunch, or take a look inside the new Bethel High, ABC Day is a place for our community and kids of all ages to connect. https://www.bethelsd.org/resources/news-article/~board/headlines/post/abc-day-returns-october-3

Holiday decor, gift items, wrapping paper, cookies, and more! That's just the start of the wonderful items available in our Cherrydale Fall Fundraiser! Fundraiser packets have been sent home with all students. All orders are due by October 9th.

This month, our students are working toward a school-wide goal of reducing hands-on incidents and learning positive ways to handle frustration and conflict. Students will be practicing strategies they can use when problems arise, including “Stop, Walk, and Talk” and “Rock-It-Out.” Ask your child to tell you how these strategies work!

You can support our challenge at home by talking with your child about using their words, not their hands, to solve problems and reminding them that Frederickson is a hands-off school.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep Frederickson a safe, positive place where every student can learn and thrive!

We just had our first Popcorn Day of the school year, and it was a great success! Thanks to all of our popcorn pass purchases and the additional donations from families, teachers, staff, and amazing supporters. For the third time ever, EVERY student has a Popcorn Pass and will receive popcorn on every Popcorn Friday! Thank you to all of our Flyer supporters for your generous donations!

This year's Fall Membership Drive runs through October 30th. Join today and each student who has a family/friend as a current PTA member will be invited to a Dance Party this year! Show your support and join today! Being a PTA member shows your support for our school and you can earn yourself some great discounts and perks as well!

Even if you cannot volunteer or attend meetings, just joining strengthens our school community.

At Frederickson Elementary, we receive additional funds so that all students can receive free lunch and breakfast, and we receive additional staffing and supports that are ESSENTIAL for student success. In order to maintain our qualifications to receive these funds, ALL Frederickson families must complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility and Education Benefit Application at https://emealapps.bethelsd.org/
