Dear Frost Families,
It was a fantastic week back at Frost after Thanksgiving Break and our students displayed a true Frost Strong effort! The Frost Staff and I continue to be proud of our Spartan students for their hard work and dedication as we completed the Math portion of MAP testing this week.
I also wanted to extend our sincere gratitude to the Frost students, staff, and community for your utmost generosity with our Adopt-A-Family program thus far. Due to your contributions, we will be able to support multiples families in need during the holiday season! We look forward to approaching our goal of raising $2,000 to support families in need.
Thank you again for your essential partnership to ensure success at Frost. We will continue to remain invested through our focus on High Achievement and Positive Culture.
Winter MAP Assessment
Starting Tuesday, December 3, we will be testing seventh and eighth grade students using the computer-based MAP assessment tools. The purpose of MAP Growth is to inform teachers of the immediate instructional needs of students. MAP results equip educators with key data to help personalize instruction and pinpoint individual student needs.
Listed below is our Winter MAP schedule at Frost:
- Students will take the Mathematics portion of the MAP Assessment on December 3-5 in their Mathematics Class.
- Students will take the Reading portion of the MAP Assessment on December 9-10 in their Language Arts Class.
We look forward to our students giving their best Frost Strong effort throughout Winter MAP!
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 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.
