Monday Message/El mensaje del lunes

Good afternoon, families, and welcome to our Monday Message!

This week, our students and staff will be reviewing our PBIS expectations. At all times, we strive to be safe, be respectful, and be responsible. This means keeping hands and feet to ourselves (safe), using kind words and actions (respectful), and coming to school every day on time, ready to learn (responsible).

Our 4th graders will continue with their important Forward testing this week, focusing on Math, followed by Science and Social Studies. It is especially important that all students—particularly our 4th graders—are at school each day, well-rested, and ready to do their best.

Thank you for your continued support!

¡Buenas tardes, familias, y bienvenidos a nuestro Mensaje del Lunes!

Esta semana, nuestros estudiantes y el personal estarán repasando nuestras expectativas de PBIS. En todo momento, nos esforzamos por ser seguros, ser respetuosos y ser responsables. Esto significa mantener las manos y los pies en su lugar (seguridad), usar palabras y acciones amables (respeto), y venir a la escuela todos los días a tiempo y listos para aprender (responsabilidad).

Nuestros estudiantes de 4.º grado continuarán con sus importantes exámenes Forward esta semana, comenzando con Matemáticas y luego Ciencias y Estudios Sociales. Es especialmente importante que todos los estudiantes—y en particular los de 4.º grado—asistan a la escuela todos los días, bien descansados y listos para dar lo mejor de sí.

¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo!

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.

English Bullying Report Form

Spanish Bullying Report Form

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.
