SCA Thanksgiving Food Drive 

Frost MS is partnering with FACETS to support families in need this holiday season! This event is sponsored by the SCA and proudly supported by the PTA.  From November 5th to 12th, students can bring in non-perishable food items and drop them off in the cafeteria between 7:00–7:30 a.m.  To make it even more fun, the Blue Day lunch that collects the most donations will win a special prize! 

*please note: the last day to drop off donations has moved to November 12th.  

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: We need a few parent volunteers to help transport the donations the students collect from Frost Middle School and deliver them to FACETS. Sign up here! 

Let’s come together as a Frost community to make a difference this holiday season

Frost PTA General Meeting – October 21st  Thank you for joining! 

Thank you to all the parents, teachers, and staff who joined us this week for our PTA General Membership Meeting!

We’re grateful for everyone’s continued support - your time and involvement make Frost such a great community for our students! 💙 


Volunteer FCPS 

Parents of Elementary, Middle, or High School students -- Want to help out at school, chaperone a field trip, or mentor students? FCPS now requires all volunteers to be registered in the new Volunteer FCPS system. This helps keep our schools safe and makes it easier to match helpers with opportunities. Please take a few minutes to complete the registration and orientation so you’re ready when opportunities come up! 

The safety and security of each and every student is our utmost priority at FCPS. Volunteer FCPS, a new tool and process for volunteers, maximizes support for students while also keeping them safe. The volunteer management system allows individuals to search and register for volunteer opportunities across the division. All volunteers must be registered in Volunteer FCPS. This includes individuals who volunteer infrequently, ongoing, or regularly to: 

  • Provide support at a school, office, or department. 
  • Chaperone fieldtrips. 

Individuals can complete a volunteer orientation at Volunteer FCPS. All volunteers — and visitors to a school — are required to sign in using the visitor kiosk. Some volunteers will also be required to undergo a background check. 

Visit the Volunteer FCPS Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about volunteer levels and registering in the system.
