A NEW JERSEY STAR SCHOOL

Welcome to Robert Frost Elementary School. We are extremely proud of the learning environment we have created for our students. This year our school theme is “Frost Kids C .A .R .E”. Our theme is meant to inspire the children to have the:

Courage to take care of their selves, to take

Action for a better world, to show

Respect for their school, and show

Empathy for others 

As a school we will focus on this theme and demonstrate it throughout the year9 that we are a community of caring learners. 

Our year will once again begin with “Respect Week”, a time to focus on the importance of respect, for ourselves and each other. In subsequent weeks our teachers, who have all received training in bullying, teasing, and conflict resolution, deliver lessons that  help students understand the difference between assertive and passive behavior. Students are also taught strategies that enable them to deal with bullying behavior. These lessons empower our students by providing them with the tools they need to make good decisions.

Helping children to resolve conflicts is another important focus at Frost. Fourth & fifth graders, trained as peer mediators, help fellow students develop strategies to handle conflict with peaceful problem solving. All Frost students are committed to a bully-free school that provides a safe place for all children to learn. They take a stand against bullying and are proactive in creating a positive school environment.  Children have pride in their school which reflects in their successful achievement.

A visit to Frost would show any visitor a genuine feeling of warmth and caring in the eyes of both students and staff.  Student work is everywhere once again proclaiming both pride and accomplishment in all they do.

The Court Yard is a focal point of our school. Many school assemblies emanate from this outdoor classroom and also provide the perfect setting for learning. This outdoor environment makes students aware of the importance of preserving and protecting our natural resources and gives students the opportunity to learn in a classroom without walls.

Technology is an integral part of the Frost experience. Frost teachers communicate with parents through individual teacher WebPages that allow students and parents to keep abreast of class activities, review homework assignments and visit Internet links to various content sites related to current learning.

Teachers integrate technology into the curriculum during daily lessons using the large monitors and computers in every classroom. Access to video streaming allows teachers to download videos and clips that provide a fascinating visual component to enhance their lesson delivery in a wide variety of content areas. Our Technology Lab is utilized by entire classes for various activities, from publishing original works, researching, completing a Web Quest or preparing PowerPoint presentations. We also have two wireless labs consisting of thirty-two laptops available for classroom use.  These help to facilitate individual and small group research projects.  

Study Island is at Frost! Students in grades 3-5 have access to this great web-based resource. Study Island is a program that focuses on the Content Standards and helps improve student performance in all skill areas tested on the NJASK/GEPA. Study Island allows students to learn/review at their own pace and provides extra help when needed.  Students can access Study Island from home, school, the library, or anywhere with an Internet connection. Please take advantage of this excellent resource.

The Frost School mission statement defines us as a “Community of Learners”.  This philosophy is evident in the many professional development opportunities available to all staff.  In addition many before and after school programs give teachers an opportunity to meet and share professional ideas that further stimulate the learning environment at our school.

Another vital part of the Frost Family formula for success is the tremendous support given by our parents. The PTA’s active involvement “In All Things Frost”  has provided the children with many learning experiences. They also provide financial support for teachers with innovative ideas, cultural arts presentations and activities that engage the whole family.

Many of the dedicated Frost staff members serve as advisors to our 15 school sponsored clubs. Students may choose from such activities as, Student Council, Gardening Club, Peer Tutoring Club, Peer Mediation, Healthy Helpers, Intramurals, Art, Chorus, Computer Club, Early Act, Fit is Fun, Safety Patrol, Writing Club, Video Newsmakers, and Yearbook. Children meet before or after school in these clubs.  Many of the clubs have a wonderful service component that further educates our children to the world around them and the importance of their role in it. Clubs help keep students actively involved in our school.

The Frost School is a Community of learners that uses the collective energy of teachers, parents, and students to provide the perfect ingredients to ensure student success.  WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL.
