The Week in Review
Good morning Frost Middle School Families!
I hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend! It was certainly a welcome break as we gear for the last two weeks of school! I am looking forward to seeing all of our 8th grade students and parents at the gala Friday night! It’s going to be a blast! Thanks to the Frost PTA for hosting and coordinating this annual tradition for our students!
Today is the last day for SOL testing this year! Our students have done a fantastic job, as always, on focusing on the task at hand and demonstrating what they know. Go Falcons!!!
As we begin to wind up the school year, please be on the lookout for yearbook sales announcements, makeup tests, locker cleanout dates, and the like.
I have informed our faculty and staff to keep the instruction going so our students are engaged through the last day of school!
We are ONE Frost!!!

#ONE Frost in Action
This segment is aimed at recognizing students for demonstrating recent improvement or achievement in academics, behavior or citizenship. I want to showcase what ONE Frost means to us! At the end of each recognition, you will see the name of the nominating teacher or staff member. On a monthly basis, departments and/or faculty members will nominate students. I will meet with all of the students who are recognized to congratulate them on their kindness, hard work, and willingness to accept others into their circle.
Anna Kim - Anna exemplifies the Other People Matter Mindset by consistently supporting others. Throughout the year, she has regularly helped other students in math. She connects with others by explaining things in ways that make sense to them. With her easy-going manner, other students accept help willingly. No matter what she is doing, Anna is never too busy to help. - Mr. Young
Kemper Brown -Kemper exemplifies the Other People Matter Mindset by consistently supporting others. In every math class, I see Kemper helping those around him. Regardless of the question, Kemper discusses it clearly and patiently. His enthusiasm for math is contagious. - Mr. Young

He reaches out to students in other classes, as well. He is willing and able to patiently walk through his problem solving strategies without being asked. Additionally, he is respectful and positive interacting with peers and teachers. - Ms. Thomas
