Note from our School Counselor
Letter from the Principal
Frank Love Families,
What a great turnout we had for curriculum night. If you were able to attend, we are so glad to have had the opportunity to connect with you. We hope you were able to connect with someone new or were able to connect with old friends.
We’ve heard that the video sent last week was not viewable. We’ve fixed the link and here it is. 2023-24 Curriculum Night Message from Principals
One of our school goals is to be more intentional in our partnership with you. We invite you to consider connecting with your student’s teacher if you have an interest, talent, passion to share with your childs’ classroom. Students’ learning is enhanced when they are able to see how what they are learning connects to the world outside of school.
We hope you enjoy the rainless weekend!
In partnership,
Katy French, Principal
Sara Davis, Principal

New Sign in/out Process

PACE
PACE (Parents Active in Cooperative Education) is an elementary enrichment program offered by the Northshore School District for children and starts in the 1st grade.
The hallmarks of PACE include an enhanced educational experience due to high parent involvement, enrichment activities, encouragement for students to become self-motivated learners and a strong sense of community among families. PACE is located at three sites with feeder patterns from all Northshore elementary schools. Families commit to a minimum of 80 hours per year of program support. Work may be either in the classroom or outside the classroom, based on parent's availability and interest.
To find out if PACE is a good fit for your family and to learn more about the enrollment process, you are invited to attend the PACE Information Night/Open House at Lockwood Elementary Tuesday, October 17, from 7:00 – 8:30PM.

After School Pick-Up Protocol at Frank Love Elementary
Students should promptly return home after the bell. We do not have staff supervision after school hours. The playground is available for public use, however students must be supervised by a parent/guardian if they want to stay after school to play.
Cheetah Pass spots are reserved for families who need additional assistance at pick up and drop off. If your family qualifies for a Cheetah Pass, one will be given to you by your student's teacher at the beginning of the year.

Health Room
VISION AND HEARING SCREENING at Frank Love Elementary Thursday, October 5th- Please note date has been corrected

If you would like to exempt your child from either of these health screenings, please contact the school nurse at franklovenurse@nsd.org or 425-408-4606.

Staying Home When Sick
Students with one or more potential COVID symptoms (fever, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, new loss of taste or smell, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, sore throat, congestion, or runny nose) are required to stay home and test for COVID-19. Home antigen tests are recommended. Students with one or more symptoms need a negative COVID test AND a significant improvement in symptoms prior to returning to school. You do not need to report negative tests to the school nurse.
Please see the Department of Health’s COVID Symptom and Exposure Flowchart for Schools at the following link for more information about steps to follow for symptoms or exposures:
If your child is sick with an illness other than COVID, please make sure they do not return to school until symptoms have subsided. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication and no vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.
Thank you for helping to keep Frank Love Elementary healthy and safe.
