We would like to start by thanking you for taking the time out of
your busy schedule to attend your child’s parent teacher conference. We hope
the time you shared with your child’s teacher was worthwhile. One of our themes
for this school year is to focus on building relationships with students and
parents, and by meeting with the teacher, we have opened the door to establishing
that relationship, now you have a two-way communication support for your
student’s needs.
You may have seen our PAWs painted on the walls around campus that
share four words that we use to build a strong social and emotional learning
environment for our students. These four words are SAFE, RESPECTFUL,
RESPONSIBLE, and POSITVE. Our goal is to have our Fritsch students making great
choices every day and doing it the right way!
Another focus here at Fritsch this year is attendance. Do you know
that if your child is absent just two days a month, they are considered to be
chronically absent from school? If a child misses 18 or more days of school,
they may be retained and will not move on to the next grade level. Last school
year, over 10% of our students were deemed chronically absent from school.
Please keep this in mind when you are planning family trips. We understand that
the time with family is important, but so is your child’s education.
We are experiencing true Nevada weather where it can be chilly in
the morning and warm in the afternoon, because of this our Lost and Found area
is growing. Please take a look in the Lost and Found before or after school if
you are missing anything.
Finally, this is the season to give thanks. I want to thank all of
the staff, parents, and students at Fritsch Elementary for everything they do
to make this the best learning environment in Carson City.
On behalf of the staff, we would like to wish you a wonderful
holiday season.
Mr. Brown and
Mr. Farnworth

School
Safety Information
Dear
Fritsch Parents,
The
well-being of your child is very important to us, so every year, we re-evaluate
our Fritsch safety plan and look at ways we can improve the security of our
buildings. An area of concern for us is
when we have visitors on campus and do not always know their whereabouts. As a way to manage our campus visitors, we
will now require any visitors to remain in the office while your child is
called from their classroom. If you are a classroom volunteer, you must
complete a volunteer application along with being fingerprinted with the school
district. We will ask our staff members
to notify the office when they have a volunteer coming to work in the classroom. We understand this might be an inconvenience
for you and in no way are we trying to take you away from the wonderful educational
experience your child is having at Fritsch. Our mission is to keep your child
safe and that is our number one goal.
We
appreciate your understanding.
Mr.
Dan Brown
Principal
Fritsch Elementary School
