Good morning Frost Middle School Families,
We have exactly one week left of school! The last day of school is June 13, 2019. Students will be released three hours early on that day at 11:15 am.
We had a fantastic showing at the 8th grade party last Friday night. It was a huge success! The 8th grade students had a ball! Thanks to the PTA for hosting and coordinating this event. It is always a hit!
Please note that Friday will be locker clean-out day. Students will be asked to clean out all of their materials and take them home. Next Tuesday will be the last day for locker use.
We are finishing up the last few make up and retakes as part of our SOL testing season. In addition, our 8th grade students are visiting Finance Park this week and completing end of year assessments in various courses.
Thank you for all of your support. The students did an amazing job this year as we have seen increases in pass rates in English and Math. Go Falcons!!!
All the best. Have an outstanding weekend!
Anthony

Frost Yearbook
Have you purchased your yearbook yet? There is still time! The cost is $45.00. We are accepting checks through Friday, June 7, made out to Frost Middle School. Starting on Monday, June 10, we will accept cash payments only. Please put payment in an envelope marked "Yearbook Order" and drop it off at the Main Office. Students who have pre-ordered will get their yearbooks on June 10th.
Locker Clean-Out Day - Friday, June 7
Tomorrow will be locker clean-out day. Students will have 15 minutes at the end of the day to clean out their lockers. If needed, please send your student with extra bags on Friday, so that they may take their locker contents home.
Students will have access to their lockers on Monday and Tuesday, but Tuesday at dismissal will be the last time to use the locker this school year.
Spring Pictures
If you are not purchasing your spring photos, please return them ASAP to your PE teacher. If you would like to purchase your photos, PE teachers have envelopes with packages and prices. You will be charged for any photos not returned or paid for.
Medication Pick-Up
Our School Health Aide, Leslie Grottle, needs all medication stored in the health room to be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications are retrieved by the student’s parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
If you have any questions, please contact Leslie Grottle, School Health Aide, at 703-426-5710, or your school public health nurse, Lisa Yonika, R.N. at 703-388-1324. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer.

#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.
Alexis Goriup -Alexis shows up with a positive attitude and willingness to help others when needed. Alexis is there to help her classmates and has no problem encouraging/cheering them on them to do their best no matter the circumstances.
