Dear Parents/Guardians, For Frog Hollow tomorrow, parents who are driving and dropping their children off should enter via the Ferris Street entrance and will exit the rear of Frog Hollow by the YMCA. Having traffic flow in one direction should be safer and more efficient. Students who are walking can enter Frog Hollow using the Ferris Street entrance or the rear entrance; both gates will be open. We ask that students arrive no earlier than 8:00 am and no later than 8:15 am. Upon arrival, students will gather by the tennis courts and attendance will be taken.  For departure, we ask that all students not walking home be picked up promptly at 12:15 pm. Parents picking up, once again, may want to enter via Ferris Street. Students not attending Frog Hollow should report directly to school for a regular school day. Thank you, Dr. McCabe

Dear Parents/Guardians,  In regard to yearbooks, for all parents/guardians who purchased a yearbook. I want to thank you for doing so and supporting our school. When the yearbooks arrived on May 31, we noticed there were a good number of errors and omissions; many more than we thought acceptable. We took action on Monday, June 3. We worked with the yearbook company and by the evening had completed what we felt were the necessary corrections.  The yearbook company reported that they will have the corrected yearbooks to the school by June 19, 2019. I want all of my parents who purchased a book to have the corrected copy. If you have purchased a book and have it in your possession, you may exchange it for a updated one. If you already have things written and memorialized in the original book, then of course you may keep it and will still be provided a corrected one.  Anyone who has not yet picked up a purchased yearbook, please wait until the new ones arrive on June 19.   I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.   At this time, we have 16 books that are still available for sale. If you are interested in reserving/purchasing one of the unsold books arriving on June 19, 2019, please contact Mrs. Partenope at [email protected].   The remaining books will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  Sincerely, Dr. McCabe
