September 13, 2023 - Pay to Play Fees Waived for 2023-24 School Year
Dear Fraser Families,
Fraser Public Schools is always looking for additional ways to support our students and families. We are very excited to let you know our Board of Education voted this past Monday to waive all pay to play athletic fees for Fraser High School and Richards Middle School for the entire school year.
The district realizes the important role athletics plays in the life of our students, and we want to encourage a high level of participation. We hope that the elimination of athletic fees for this school year will provide some financial relief to our families.
If you have already paid a fee for a fall sport for your student(s), that money will be refunded this month.
- If you paid with cash or check, the Athletic Department will reach out to you to refund your money.
- If you paid online via Schoolpay, a refund will be sent to the card used to make the payment.
Please note, this does not include club sports. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to the Athletic Department.
We continue to be grateful for the support and efforts of our Fraser Families.
With Fraser Pride,
Dr. Wozniak

August 31, 2023 - Attend Today. Achieve Tomorrow
Dear Fraser Families,
We are excited to welcome your child to a new school year filled with opportunities to learn and engage!
Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to:
- reduce stress
- build routines
- make it easier to connect with friends and teachers
- support learning
In Fraser - and across the state and country - the rates of student absences have increased during the last several years. Missing just two days of school a month adds up to more than 10% of the school year. Those lost learning opportunities can impact students throughout their school careers.
- Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school by June.
- By the end of 3rd grade, poor attendance can influence whether children can read proficiently.
- By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.
During the upcoming year we will share important attendance information with you in our district newsletters, principal updates, and on our social media channels. The information will also be posted on our website.
We want to partner with our families to make our schools a safe, healthy and welcoming environment where all students can succeed.
With Fraser Pride,
Kristin Sommer

Breakfast and lunch menus for the first week of school and the month of September are now available on our food service website.Additional a la carte items will still be available for purchase at both Richards Middle School and Fraser High School.
Elementary schools will have a limited variety of a la carte items to purchase using CASH ONLY. All students can choose to purchase an additional breakfast or lunch at the full paid student price.
Breakfast is served in our elementary classrooms at the beginning of each school day. At RMS and FHS, students can eat breakfast in the cafeteria before school.

Education Benefits Form
Even though meals are free for everyone, it is still important for your household to complete an Education Benefits Form, which can be found online on the Family Portal website.

It could also help your family qualify for additional benefits.We are asking that you please complete and submit the Education Benefits Form as soon as possible.
