The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has developed a Parents’ Bill of Rights.

Local education entities must provide the Bill of Rights (162.850 RSMO) to parents when:
· A child is determined eligible for special education services or,
· When an initial Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed and,
· Whenever the Procedural Safeguards Notice is provided to parents.

In the event of inclement weather, we will post info on major news stations if there is no school. Some stations will list Frontier School of Innovation, Frontier Charter, Frontier School, or KCFSI such as KMBC, KCTV5. The important thing is to look for Frontier. We do not follow the KCMO School District to determine closings.

School reach program will also call and give you the update whether we have school or not.

FSI Schoolwide Science Fair (3rd grade thru 5th Grade)

AR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his own level and reads it at her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct
ongoing reading practice.

SchoolReach is the leading parent notification service among private schools, and the fastest-growing communications service used by public schools across the country. It delivers automated messages through voice, email, and text messaging. The SchoolReach system takes only minutes to contact parents, capable of contacting tens, hundreds or thousands of recipients with each message. SchoolReach is a division of GroupCast, which also provides mass notification services for various industries outside of education.

In case of an announcement you will be receiving notification via phone, email and text messaging.

What is SchoolReach? SchoolReach is an easy to use, web-based solution used to send important messages to parents via their home, work and cell numbers, as well as via email and text messaging.


How does SchoolReach get my phone numbers? The telephone number information supplied to SchoolReach is load directly by your school administrators into SchoolReach over a secure connection. In most cases, the parent data is exported from the school records system directly into SchoolReach. Once a school is logged onto SchoolReach the calling data in encrypted using Equifax 128-bit encryption as it passes from the school to schoolreach. It remains in an encrypted state while on the SchooReach system. SchoolReach has a contract with your school/district to provide our service. This contract places restrictions on using parent information for any purpose other than to fulfill a school related call.


What caller ID will I see? SchoolReach sends the main phone number of your school. In some cases it may be the main number of the school district.


How should I answer the phone? Answer the phone as you normally would – say hello! SchoolReach is voice activated and is waiting for your greeting to begin playing the message. If you don’t say hello or answer, the message will eventually begin but it will take several seconds before doing so.

Information will be sent home from your child's school.

Standing Up to a Bully
If your child is verbally bullied, teach him or her how to respond effectively. Discuss the following strategies with your child. Practicing the strategies with you or another trusted adult will help develop the confidence to end the bullying. If the bullying is happening at school, speak to your student's teacher, principals, office staff, or counselor for help.


Ignore the Bully
Teach your child to ignore the bully. Your child should not make faces, cry, sigh, or make any gesture signaling distress. Often, when bullies don't get a reaction, they stop.

Walk Away
Your child can choose to walk away in a confident manner - head up, back straight and with a normal walking pace. Your child needs to be aware of being followed and walk to a safer place, usually near adults. If the bully says mean things, continue to ignore and walk away.

Tell the Bully to "Stop"
Keeping a distance of 1½ to 2 arm lengths, have your child say, "Stop!" or, "Cut it out!" Teach your child to:

Make eye contact.
Express confident body language; head up, back straight, arms down in front or on the side of the body and feet at shoulder width. No fidgeting!

Speak clearly - a steady tone, not too loud, too soft, whiny or sarcastic.

Make short statements such as, "Stop!" or "Cut it out!" or “Leave me alone!”

Then turn and walk away.

Go to a Trusted Adult
When other strategies fail, or there is immediate danger, tell your child to go to a trusted adult-teacher, coach, staff member, or counselor. This is not tattling; this is requesting assistance with a serious problem. They can remain confidential if they choose to.

Thank you to all Frontier Parents, Teachers, and Students who particiapte in this trip.

Welcome back to the 2009-2010 academic school year. I hope you had a restful summer break.

I would like to start by saying "thank you" for being an integral part of the Frontier Schools family. The contribution you make to the structure of Frontier Schools is immeasurable. Your efforts along with the efforts of your colleagues allow us to serve the needs of over 500 students and their families throughout Kansas City, MO.

Although the scope and range of our schools have continually expanded, our initial promise to our students and their families has remained unchanged. For the past two years, the Frontier School has strived to positively impact students and their communities by providing BFMASS students the skills
necessary for successfully entering and completing college and university programs. Our intention is to continue to impact communities by building upon our school model which emphasizes rigor, relevance, and relationships.

Our faculty, staff, and administrators are able to communicate our intention and school model by actively engaging students and their families. Thus without your dedication, the entire School System would suffer a tremendous loss.

The theme for the 2009-2010 academic school year is enthusiastic achievement. As you go about fulfilling on your commitment as an educator, I encourage you to look from the view point of enthusiastic achievement. I also encourage you to pass along enthusiastic achievement to your colleagues, students, and their families. Again, thank you for your
commitment, dedication, and inspiration.

Have a fulfilling and productive school year.

Sincerely,

Ismet Isik, M.Eng M.A MCP
Principal
