TRANSCRIPT
Dear Robert Frost School Community, ! It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to serve the community as the principal of Robert Frost Elementary. For the last 5 years I have been the principal at Upland Terrace Elementary, and I am very excited to move west and become a part of the West Valley Community. I have met so many wonderful people and I want to say thank you for making me feel so welcome. I am sure that Robert Frost Elementary is definitely at the place to be! We have many new faces in the building this year and we are so very excited to welcome them to Frost. New to the lower grades are Mrs. Schroeder and Mrs. Fisher in first grade and Ms. Robins and Mrs. O’Shea in third grade. Joining us in the upper grades are Ms. Butterfield in fifth grade and Mr. Williamson in sixth grade. We also have a new resource teacher, Ms. Gans, as well as two new teachers in our special education units, Ms. Cheesman and Ms. Jorgenson. Ms. Lopach comes to our school as the new school psychologist. In the library, Mrs. Eyre is our new media assistant. We are so excited to have an amazing faculty and staff this year at Frost! Thank you to all the parents and guardians who came to SEP conferences in support of their Robert Frost students. We had a wonderful turn out and it was a pleasure to meet so many new faces. Please help us to make sure that your students are to school on time each and every day. Having good attendance is a crucial part of your student’s success in school. I would like to send a big THANK YOU to Mandi Thayne and the rest of the PTA for all their help and support as we began another great year here at Frost. If you are not already a member of the Frost PTA I want to encourage you to join. Our PTA goes above and beyond to enhance your student’s educational experience. We need to do everything we can to support out Frost PTA! If you are a social media user and you are not doing so already, please follow us on Twitter and Facebook, follow the links below to access those sites. Thank you to the entire community for your continuing support! !Sincerely, Andy Carbaugh

Our annual fundraiser event was held on September 17th. It was a beautiful day and all students and teachers participated. Popsicles were served and the kids had a blast! The fundraiser was very successful and while we raised money, school spirit was boosted. !The school raised just under $5k to support our students and programs through our amazing PTA. Our top money raisers were Stephany Martinez, Piper Grimstead, Gage Warner, Kaylie Ortiz, Navaeh Wilson, and Madison Druce. Over 150 students were able to participate in the ice cream party held on October 1st. Many classes earned the movie party and 2 classes, Mrs. Unsworth’s class and Mrs. Baldridge’s class earned a 3-hour field trip. Thanks to all who helped make the PTA fundraiser a success!

READ, READ, READ Robert Frost Eagles!
The Road to Success is paved with a lot of READING and HARD WORK! Studies show that students who read at least 20 minutes a day are more successful than those who don’t. Those students who read 5 days out of the week will earn 1 Jcket for drawings throughout the year. Those who read all 7 days earn 2 Jckets. Our goal for this year is the same as last year: 60,000 days. We can do it!!! We will have a great reward for our efforts!
READERS ARE WINNERS!!!

NEWS FROM THE CLASSROOM
Kindergarten Kindergarten is up and running! Ms. Amy teaches the all-‐day class and Ms. ChrisJan teaches the half-‐day AM and PM classes. We have been busy learning the rules, rouJnes and procedures at school, even how to walk outside for a fire drill! We have learned how to rotate from center to center as we pracJce our leWers, numbers, wriJng and counJng. We have three special books we leave at school to work on. One is our math book that we work in every day. Thanks for helping at home with the homework, as it reinforces these skills we are pracJcing each day. Our other special books include our wriJng journal and Willy the Worm word book, where we have wriWen our first six sight words.
Some of our favorite things are P.E., recess, computer, music and lunch for the all-‐day kids! Thanks for coming to SEP’s; communicaJon between school and home is very important. Keep reading every night so we can become good readers. We are looking forward to the weather cooling down, the leaves changing color and the upcoming holidays.
