Dear Frost Families,
We have had a wonderful December at Frost highlighted by our commitment to High Achievement and Positive Culture. Students and staff remained invested this week through outstanding Band and Orchestra performances and strong team finishes in the Fluid Power Challenge. Our Boys Basketball, Cheer, and Poms teams also had tremendous seasons and look to bring multiple victories in the tournament next week. Lastly, as we approach Winter Break, we look forward to finishing Frost Strong by showcasing student success through our spirit week and winter assemblies next week.
Girls Volleyball and Wrestling
Girls Volleyball and Wrestling seasons begin right after winter break on Monday, January 6, 2025. Any student trying out for volleyball or wishing to take part in wrestling must have an approved sports physical on file with the nurse prior to being able to participate. Wrestling and Girls Volleyball permission slip packets and forms are available for students to pick up in the cafeteria.

Frost Arrival/Dismissal Locations
Arrival and Dismissal at Frost often is a slow process due to the size of the parking lot, so please continue to display patience and civility when entering the school zone.
When students arrive on campus, they will be directed to enter one of the following doors and proceed to their first period class:
- Inside row of buses: Enter Door 1 / Main Entrance
- Outside row of buses: Enter Door 2 / West Entrance
- Parent Drop Off/Walkers: Enter Door 13 / East Entrance
- Arrival / Drop Off – Please use both lanes of traffic for drop-off to allow additional cars to access our parking lot in an efficient manner
- Dismissal / Pick Up – Please use the right lane of traffic for pick up to allow cars to exit the parking lot upon student pickup during dismissal
- Please avoid making any left hand turns out of the Frost parking lot at Arrival/Dismissal
All entrances to the building will open at 7:30 am and any students arriving after 7:40 am will enter through Door 1 and check in with the main office.

District 54 Severe Weather Response Plan
In order to help parents better prepare for the severe cold weather and snow we often get during winters in our community, please review the District 54 Severe Weather Response Plan. Additional information regarding school cancellations can be found HERE.
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.
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.
