Head's Up Elementary Parents!
Frontier Academy Elementary will be hosting this year's Distri ct Battle of the Books!
This means the parking lots right after school on Wednesday, April 29th and Thursday, April
30th, will be very full. We expect several hundred guests on Wednesday, the especially busy Battle
day. Help us help you: unless your child is in the Battle or is helping out as a member of
Student Council or the Link Crew, plan now to move quickly through the lots on those
afternoons. Carpooling that day would not be a bad idea!

performance was the best I'd ever
heard them play. I chose a more

represented Frontier extremely well
musically and in their superb
behavior.“ Congrats Frontier! Elementary Curriculum Preview

Dear Parents,
As you have heard, TCAP tests are now online and are called
CMAS (science & social studies) and PARCC (English language
arts & math).
Students in grades 3-12 will be participating in these state assessments. When creating the
schedules for testing, we considered many factors, including the time required for testing, the
classes missed while testing, and previous testing schedules that have been successful.
Science & social studies: April 13-23
English language arts & math: April 20-May 7
Please see more detailed schedule information at frontieracademy.net/testing
On these test days, we ask that students arrive to school on time. Help your children feel their
best by making sure they go to bed early, eat a good breakfast and bring healthy lunches and
snacks. Please do not schedule appointments for your child during these test days or times.
These test results are important to your student and Frontier Academy. The scores help us
determine how much progress we have made and they affect our standing with the state of
Colorado and District 6.
The Colorado Department of Education states that students may not have cell phones in the
testing room. Students need to leave cell phones at home, in lockers, or at the front office.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Budzynski at 970-339-9153 or Mrs. Willis at 970330-1780.
With your help, spring testing will be great! Thank you for your support. May is Pediatric Stroke Awareness
