We are rounding the mid-year
point of the school year and it has been fantastic so far. We are hoping for a
wet, snowy winter! With that in mind, please be sure to send students to school
dressed for these conditions. If students are going to play on the fields in
the snow, we ask them to wear waterproof shoes (boots) so they can stay
comfortable the remainder of the day. If they are not prepared, we ask them to
stay on the asphalt portion of the playground so they can remain dry. If your
child is in need of winter clothing let us know and we will help locate some
resources. If you are missing any items,
please take a look in our lost and found. We have a mound of jackets, hoodies,
lunch bags and other items. During the
winter break, these items will be donated to FISH, so please come and claim any
items that are familiar to you.
Speaking of a cold and snowy
winter, if for any reason we need to have a delayed start to school, the start
time will be at 10:25 AM. On these days,
breakfast will not be served. If a delayed start to school is declared, please
watch for notifications on local news programs, radio stations, the Carson City
School district website, or our Fritsch Facebook page and website.
During the month of December,
all of our students will be taking the winter MAP Assessment. It is very
important for our students to do their best and to take their time. This
assessment is used to identify students that may need a Literacy Plan developed
to support deficiencies in reading. Please
remind your child to do their best and celebrate what they are learning.
We have an awesome evening
planned for Dec. 13th. We will begin the evening with a band/choir
concert at 5:30pm. We will also have reading activities for the whole family. The
Book Fair will be going from 5:30-7:00. We will wrap up the night with a good
holiday book and cookies and hot cocoa provided by our PTA. We encourage you to
come in your PJs and have a festive evening.
You know, our PTA does so many
things for our school, a great way to thank them, is to become a member! The
price for a membership is one trip to Starbucks, so please sign up and give
them your support. You can pay for your membership in the office.
Finally, we want to wish you a
wonderful and peaceful holiday season.
We look forward to the continuation of an amazing school year in 2018!
Happy Holidays,
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
