📄 Family Life Letters Are Posted — Info Meeting September 22

The Family Life letters are up on the Frost school website. There's a separate letter for each grade, so check the one that matches your student.

Grade 6 covers Mental and Emotional Health, Substance Use and Misuse Prevention, Safety and Violence Prevention, and Healthy Eating. The Family Life and Human Sexuality unit doesn't start until 7th grade, so there's no opt-out form for 6th graders.

Grades 7 and 8 have the Family Life and Human Sexuality (FLHS) unit. The letter lists every topic covered, and an opt-out form is attached if you don't want your student to participate. Two dates to know:

October 2 — opt-out forms due back to school
On or after October 6 — instruction begins

You only need to return the form if you're opting out. No form is needed to participate.

Zoom info meeting: Tuesday, September 22 at 6:00 PM. Teachers will go through the actual instructional materials and take questions.

7th grade: about 6:05–6:35 PM
8th grade: starts around 6:35 PM
Meeting ID: 339 357 9811 | Password: health

Can't make it but want to see the materials? Call the school at 240-740-7610 to set up a time, or email Mrs. Wood at Gabriella_M_Wood@mcpsmd.org.

📣 MCCPTA Is Looking for Volunteers — Regional Programs Committee

At its last Board of Directors meeting, MCCPTA approved forming a special committee on Regional Programs, and they're looking for volunteers from each of the six regions. Cluster coordinators, PTSA board members, and community members are all welcome.

The committee meets twice a month: once with MCPS staff to talk through regional program implementation plans, and once on its own to debrief and put together materials for local PTAs and other MCCPTA committees.

What the committee is aiming to do:

Keep two-way communication going with MCPS about planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs under the new regional model
Collect and share information so local PTAs can support these programs at their own schools
Gather feedback from local PTAs to bring back to MCPS and to inform the curriculum, CIP, technology, and other MCCPTA committees
Advocate for accountability and data transparency, so programs across regions are comparable in enrichment opportunities, course offerings, curriculum, and instructional quality

Interested? Email Rebekah Kuschmider at einstein2@mccpta.org.

📅 Monthly PTSA Meetings Start Tuesday, September 8

Our general session meetings run 7:00–8:00 PM on the second Tuesday of every month, on Zoom. First one is Tuesday, September 8.

We go over what's coming up, where the budget stands, and vote on anything that needs it. Usually done in under an hour. Everyone's welcome — you don't need to be a member to come, but you do need to be one to vote.

💬 Join Your Grade's WhatsApp Group

We've set up three WhatsApp groups, one for each grade, to make it easier to get grade-level info and ask questions. The PTSA posts updates there and answers what we can, and you're welcome to use them to connect with other parents in your grade.

Join the group for each of your kids' grades — if you have more than one at Frost, join more than one:

New requests are approved by an admin, so it may take a bit before you're added.

Some parent-run WhatsApp groups have been around for a while. Those are totally fine, we just don't run them. These three are where the PTSA shares information and answers questions. We moderate them to keep things on topic and easy to keep up with — if you've got a question about anything Frost, ask away.

Not a WhatsApp person? No problem. Everything important still goes out in the newsletter, and you can find us in our Facebook group.

🦅 Welcome Back, Frost Families – First Day is Tuesday, August 25

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 25. Whether you've got a new 6th grader or you're sending your last 8th grader through the doors, we're glad you're here.

The PTSA is the group behind a lot of the stuff kids actually remember about middle school: Turn-Table Thursdays, Freeze Pop Fridays, the Spelling Bee, socials, buses to activities, and the meals and thank-yous that keep our staff going. All of it runs on memberships, donations, and parents who pitch in where they can.

Two quick things to do before the year gets away from you:

Join the PTSA. It takes a few minutes, and you don't have to volunteer for anything. Being a member is enough.
Join our Facebook group for reminders, updates, and questions you'd rather ask another parent than look up.

Our goal this year is 300 members and $4,500 raised. Help us get there early so we can spend the rest of the year on the fun part.

See you on the 25th.
