Welcome to Fryelands Elementary School!

Dear Fryelands Families!!!

In this time of giving thanks…

Thank you for attending your child’s conferences in October and look for 1st Trimester Report Cards coming home with students on December 10th.  Research shows that parental involvement in school is the number one indicator of student success.  It helps build communication between home and school, while providing clarification of routines, homework, expectations, and student learning goals.  If you would like to conference with your child’s teacher at any time during the year, you may do so by calling or e-mailing the teacher directly and asking for an appointment.

Thank you for your PTA Fundraiser support.  Our Fryelands Families have been very supportive of our school community.  Collectively, you have helped bring in over $8000 for our school to support technology, assemblies, and field trips.

Thank you for helping local families with our Fryelands Food Drive from November 9th-20th to benefit the local Sky Valley Food Bank.  Our goal is 75 items per classroom this year and last year you helped us bring in over 2000 items to help our neighbors in need. 

Our Falcon PRIIDE character trait for the next six weeks is RESPONSIBILITY.
We are asking students how they can show responsibility at school (completing work, following our school rule, cleaning up after themselves), at home (completing chores, taking care of pets, cleaning up their toys in the living room, brushing teeth) and in the neighborhood (wearing a helmet, picking up trash, following safety guidelines for walking or riding their bike).  Please help us by emphasizing the trait of responsibility with your children.

Please be aware school will be dismissed at 12:55 p.m. on November 25th.

Thank you for being partners with us in your child’s education.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at presleyj@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3400.

Sincerely,
Jeff Presley

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Each morning we have over 400 students come across Fryelands Boulevard via bike, scooter, skateboard, walking, or vehicle.  It’s an amazing site to watch each morning and afternoon.  We are continually working on ways to improve traffic and pedestrian safety.  Together we can work on improving our student’s safety and slow down vehicle traffic in front of our school.

 

We can do more to help keep our children safe

1. Talk to your children about bicycle and pedestrian safety tips
2. Talk to your neighbors without children about traffic speeds
3. Model good school zone driving by driving under 20 mph in the school zone and decreasing your speed in the school parking lot and when crossing at 154th St.
