Happy 2019! We would like to wish you all a wonderful new year
filled with happiness and good health. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “With the
new year comes new strength and new thoughts,” which is exactly what we have in
store for our students.
The calendar says winter is here, and we try very hard to keep the
school clear of snow and ice, but we caution you to be careful while on campus.
We ask the students to stay off any ice and if they do not have snow boots,
they must stay on the black top and avoid the field. With the Nevada weather
the way it is, on some days the afternoon can warm up enough that our students
take off their jackets and leave them on the playground. Many times our lost
and found pile grows during this time of the year. Please label all of your
child’s coats and hoodies with their name so it is easier to return to them. If
you know your child is missing an article of clothing, please look in our lost
and found, which is located in the B building just past the nurse’s office
where you can exit to the playground. During winter break, any leftover items
will be donated to FISH.
If the weather becomes a concern, the school district has
implemented a two-hour delayed start to school. This means school will not
start until 10:25. Due to the late start, we will not be serving breakfast in
our cafeteria on those days. If we do have a delayed start to school, it will
be broadcast through the local television news programs, a recorded message
will be sent by phone, and will be posted on the district and school website,
which can be found at carsoncityschools.com, and on our school Facebook page so
please follow it. It can be found on Facebook under Edith W. Fritsch Elementary
School.
With the assistance from the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, we frequently
evaluate our safety procedures and one area that has become a concern is the
parking lot on the EAST side of Building A. Due to the increase traffic flow in
this particular area, we will be designating that parking area as a staff parking
lot only. We appreciate your understanding and your commitment to this change.
We look forward to an awesome second half of our school year! If
there is anything that we can do to support you and your child’s academic
experience, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Happy New Year!
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
