At Frontier Elementary, building positive relationships is at the heart of everything we do. To make our community even stronger, we’ve created Frontier Families—small, cross-grade groups of 5-7 students paired with one dedicated adult mentor. These "families" include students from all grades and are led by a mix of our amazing staff: teachers, assistants, administrators, cafeteria workers, and more. Together, we’re creating connections that foster belonging, mentorship, and teamwork across the entire school! Today, we kicked off this exciting initiative with a "get-to-know-you" session, and it was a blast! We’re already looking forward to our next Frontier Family gathering in December.

Thank You, Frontier Families! 🍂✨ A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Fall Family Night last week! 🎉 We were blown away by the amazing turnout.

Your support and enthusiasm remind us why our community is so special. 💙 We’re proud to be part of such a wonderful Frontier family.
