Born to Fly – 2022-23 School Theme
Tuesday, March 21, 2023
Dear Aviators,
Welcome to the March equinox week! Fun fact, the equinox officially began at the end of school yesterday. This occurs when the sun crosses the equator going south to north and it only happens twice a year in March and again in September. So fun.
Please make note of the following:
1. Yearbooks
Don’t forget to buy your yearbook, we have sold-out the past two years in a row. They are $65 right now but the price goes up to $85 on March 31st. You can purchase them on my school fees or at the finance office window
2. Community Outreach Resources:
Frontier Middle School is having a parent night that families in the community are invited to come to on March 22, 2023. Please see the flyers for information regarding that night. English copy for Frontier Middle

Also just a reminder about the SHARP survey. We encourage parents/guardians to OPT-IN and allow their children to participate. Included below is a Sharp facts flier with information about the survey. This data is vital to our work. It helps us understand the needs of YOUTH and FAMILIES and SCHOOLS in our community. You will want to fill out the survey soon. Thank you for your participation.

3. PTSA Fundraiser – Texas Roadhouse Rolls
PTSA is selling frozen Texas Roadhouse Rolls just in time for Easter! They are $10 per frozen dozen and come with honey butter and a free appetizer card. Pickup will be on March 29 & 30. Please place your orders at https://cvhs.memberhub.com/
4. Aspire Plus Testing – Aspire Plus tests for Freshmen and Sophomores and covers the areas of Math, Science, English, and Reading. We will conduct the tests next week, March 27-31.
We will have a modified schedule each day of the week. Testing will take place in the classroom with the core subject teacher so we can minimize disruptions for those not testing. Please remind your kids about the test and stress its importance of it. Upper-classmen in mixed-grade level classes will not test and choose to stay home or can study in the cafeteria.
Please contact your child’s administrator if you have any questions or concerns regarding the testing.
