Welcome to Fryelands Elementary School!
…Home of the Falcons!!!

October 2009

Dear Fryelands Families!!!

Believe it or not it is already October!  We have many school-wide events this month so please check our calendar.

Oct. 8th is Curriculum Night
Students will really enjoy sharing their classrooms with you during the open house portion and teachers are looking forward to meeting with you to talk about routines, schedules, classroom expectations, and grade-level curriculum and assessments for the year.

Curriculum Night Schedule

6-6:25 p.m.                 Open House for students to share classrooms
and visit specialists
                                    (Students will move to the gym at 6:25 p.m.)
6:35-7 p.m.                 Curriculum Session 1 (parents ONLY in the classrooms)
7:05-7:30 p.m.            Curriculum Session 2 (parents ONLY in the classrooms)   

Oct. 8th is the Fryelands PTA Fall Fundraiser Kickoff
This fundraiser event will run Oct. 8-16.  This year the funds will be used to support an Author Day, Math and Reading Challenges, a Science Fair, assemblies, several student clubs, and technology.  Many families choose to donate directly to the PTA and I encourage you to ask your employer to match your donations and contribute to our efforts.  Thank you in advance for your tremendous support for our students and our programs. 

Oct. 4-10, is Fire Prevention Week around the country
At Fryelands we are using this opportunity to teach our students about fire safety, emergency preparedness, and responsibility.  Have you practiced an evacuation route at home with your family about how to get out of the house and where to meet in the event of a fire?  Have you tested the smoke alarms or replaced their batteries at home? 

Parent/Teacher Conference Week occurs October 26-30.  Teachers have been busy preparing for your conference time and sending home appointment schedules.  This is an opportunity for you and the teacher to discuss things directly related to your child.  I hope you will make every effort to attend the scheduled time.  If the time does not fit your schedule, please send a note to your child’s teacher to reschedule.  I hope to have 100% parent participation at our school’s conferences.  After all, you are your child’s first teacher.

Thank you for bringing your students to us for their academic and social learning.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at presleyj@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3400.
    Sincerely,
    Jeff Presley
    Principal

Important Notice About Internet Safety

The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.


Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.

Norton | Cyber Sitter | Net Nanny | Surf Watch | Cyber Patrol

For the 2009-2010 school year, the Fryelands Elementary School PTA will meet on the second Tuesday of every month (n0t December)in the school library at 7 p.m., beginning October 13th.
