The beginning
of February is such an awesome time! We just celebrated the 100th day of
school, which is just amazing. I guess time really does fly when you are having
fun! We kicked off the month with the ACCESS assessment that all of our English
Language Learners are given to measure their English proficiency. We are always
very excited to get the results from this assessment since it is a part of our
school performance rating. In May, all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be
taking the SBAC Assessment. You can help at home to prepare your child by
having them practice their typing skills when they have a free moment. Here are
some links that you can use: freetypinggame.net and typingweb.net can be found
in the students Google Drive, but can also be accessed at any time by the web
address. Our students can also be working on math games at Mathplayground.com
and Roomrecess.com to reinforce their math skills. Another way to support us
with the state assessments is please arrange your family vacations or Dr.
Appointments around the testing window. It is very important that your child
attend school on the testing days. Please take a look at our webpage for those
dates.
Another area
that we are rated on within the school performance system is chronically absent
students. If a student misses more than 15 days of schools, they are considered
chronically absent. As of right now, we have over 220 students that have been
deemed chronically absent. We need your help with this…..It is so important
that are students are in their seats every day.
As we start
to roll into the spring days, everyone knows what the Nevada weather can bring.
The mornings can be brisk and then by afternoon it is warm and beautiful, which
leads to our students leaving jackets and sweatshirts all over the playground.
Please make sure to label your child’s clothing and if you are missing
something take a look in the lost and found. Our lost and found will be donated
at the end of February so please make sure to collect any items you are missing
before then.
Again, we
want to thank you for your support and we hope that your child’s educational journey
has been a positive one here at Fritsch.

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
