Monday Message from Ms. Grace/El mensaje del lunes de Ms. Grace Monday Message from Ms. Grace/El mensaje del lunes de Ms. Grace

Dear La Escuela Fratney Families,

This is Ms. Grace, your Parent Coordinator with the weekly Monday Message. February is Black History Month, and this week is also Black Lives Matter at School – Week of Action. As part of our third school-wide theme “We can make a difference in the world” students will be learning about the many ways African Americans have made important contributions to our world. This Friday, our 5th and 6th graders will attend a Black History Dance program.

This week we also kick off our February Attendance Challenge! We love our students and love seeing them at school every day. We are asking families to help us reach 18 days of attendance this month. Classes will compete weekly and throughout February for the best school-wide attendance, with special incentives to celebrate their efforts.

A few more important highlights for the week:

  • Our 1st graders and 6th graders will be going on their Urban Ecology field trips.

  • We will hold a Family Leadership Organization (FLO) meeting on Wednesday at 5:00 PM to finish planning for our February Family Movie Night. All families are welcome to join, share ideas, and support this fun event.

  • On Thursday evening, 4th grade families are expected to attend an informational meeting about the upcoming camping trip to Upham Woods.

Finally, as part of our school-wide health plan and our commitment to student well-being, we kindly remind families that candy is not allowed at school. Please help us by keeping candy at home and supporting healthy snack choices. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.




Estimadas familias de La Escuela Fratney:


Les saluda la Sra. Grace, su coordinadora de familias. Febrero es el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana, y esta semana también celebramos la Semana de Acción de Black Lives Matter en la Escuela. Como parte de nuestro tema escolar “Haciendo la diferencia”, el estudiantado estará aprendiendo sobre las muchas maneras en que las personas afroamericanas han hecho contribuciones importantes a nuestro mundo. Este viernes, nuestros estudiantes de 5.º y 6.º grado asistirán a un programa de danza sobre la Historia Afroamericana.

Esta semana también comenzamos nuestro Reto de Asistencia de Febrero. Amamos a nuestros estudiantes y nos encanta verlos en la escuela todos los días. Les pedimos a las familias que nos ayuden a lograr 18 días de asistencia este mes. Las clases competirán cada semana y durante todo febrero por la mejor asistencia escolar, con incentivos especiales para celebrar su esfuerzo.

Otros recordatorios importantes de la semana:

  • Nuestros estudiantes de 1.º grado tendrán sus excursiones de Urban Ecology.

  • Tendremos una reunión de la Organización de Liderazgo Familiar (FLO) el miércoles a las 5:00 p. m. para finalizar la planificación de nuestra Noche Familiar de Cine de febrero. Todas las familias están invitadas a participar, compartir ideas y apoyar este evento.

  • El jueves por la noche, se espera que las familias de 4.º grado asistan a una reunión informativa sobre el campamento en Upham Woods.

Por último, como parte de nuestro plan escolar de salud y nuestro compromiso con el bienestar de los estudiantes, les recordamos amablemente que no se permite traer dulces a la escuela. Por favor, ayúdenos manteniendo los dulces en casa y apoyando opciones de meriendas saludables.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración.

Volunteers Volunteers

Volunteers

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.


Here is the link for MPS volunteers

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.
