Dear Frost Families,

Happy Friday! We have had a great start to the 2nd trimester this week and it was wonderful to see our students and staff dressed in red, white, and blue on Friday to honor our Veterans. On behalf of Frost Junior High, we would also like to extend our appreciation and respect for those who have served or are currently serving our country. Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you have made.
 
I continue to be extremely proud of our students and staff for remaining invested in our work each day.  We greatly appreciate the partnership with our parents to ensure student success, and we will continue to work diligently to align our actions through High Achievement and Positive Culture. 

Meet the Teacher – Parent/Teacher Conference Signup – Nov. 20 and 21

School District 54 is making it easier than ever for families to schedule conferences with teachers. We’ve partnered with “Meet the Teacher” to provide a mobile-friendly and easy-to-use system that creates a simple and streamlined scheduling experience. To login and schedule a conference, please visit https://schooldistrict54.meettheteacher.com/ and enter the information in the text fields. Please make sure you enter the information that matches the student’s registration. If you have more than one child in District 54, you will only have to use one child’s information to login. The system will show you options for all the students in your household after you login once. Please ensure to sign up as early as possible to ensure a conference time is available with our staff. 

Once you’re in the system, you’ll be able to select your child’s/children’s teacher(s) and your preferred dates and times. If you prefer to have your conference virtually via Zoom, please add a message to the conference when prompted and type in the word “Zoom.”  If you prefer to have an in-person conference, please leave this blank. If you would like to change or delete any scheduled conferences, you can do so by logging in again with the same information. We encourage you to bookmark the website https://schooldistrict54.meettheteacher.com/ on your phone, tablet, or desktop to review, possibly make changes, and for future parent-teacher conference sessions.

If you have any additional questions once you have navigated the provided resources, please call the Frost Main Office at 847-357-6800 or email [email protected].

No Food Deliveries Allowed
With a focus on student and staff safety, District 54 will not allow food delivery services (including, but not limited to, GrubHub, DoorDash, and local restaurants) to our schools. We will continue to have hot lunch days, which are planned events, organized and supervised by school or PTA volunteers. However, we will no longer accept other outside food deliveries to keep our schools secure.
     
District 54 Virtual Backpack
District 54 shares information about community events with our students and families through our Virtual Backpack.  We know that parents are interested in extracurricular activities. At the same time, we don’t want the homework, letters from the teachers, school news and other important district information to get lost among the countless other pieces of paper in our students’ backpacks.  Please click here for additional information. 
  
Infinite Campus Parent Portal
Infinite Campus is District 54’s student information system that connects parents to information.  Through Infinite Campus, parents will have access to the Parent Portal. The Parent Portal provides access for parents to information regarding their child including paying fees, viewing assignments, attendance, grades, academic schedule, and teacher comments.  

If you currently do not have a Parent Portal account, please email [email protected] or you can call our front office at 847-357-6800 and our secretaries can assist you.  If you need help logging on to the Infinite Campus portal click here, email [email protected], or call portal support at 847-357-5110.  If you have previously created a Parent Portal account and cannot recall your username or password, you can reset them yourself from the portal website by selecting forgot password.
