📢 School Engagement Survey Update! 📢
Back in the fall, our school community—families, students, and staff—were invited to participate in school engagement surveys. Yesterday, a group of parents met to review the parent survey results, and this morning, our staff came together to analyze all three surveys and develop action plans to support our school community.
Overall, the results were positive! Parents and students feel comfortable, safe, and supported at Frontier. We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their feedback. Your input helps us continue making Frontier an even better place to be!

Our teachers strive to create a positive and creative learning environment every day. As a community, we can be part of that effort in a variety of ways. You can support teachers by donating directly to their classrooms. When you donate to a teacher, your donation is received through the foundation and given directly to that teacher. And because we are a nonprofit organization, you are eligible to earn a tax deduction for the donation. Please review the tax credit information explaining more about the tax benefits of donating through the Foundation. All donations will be spent during the school year they are given. Unspent funds revert to the Foundation's grant fund.
