Q: Is breakfast served at school?

Breakfast is not served until the first Monday of school in September.

qualify for a free or reduced lunch will be afforded the same status for
breakfast. All other students may purchase breakfast if they so
desire. (See school website or request a lunch/breakfast calendar of
offerings and prices.)
Q: How do I know if school is canceled due to weather or other circumstance?
A: Announcements on the radio or television regarding the Frontier Central School District and/or Frontier High School being closed due to weather or any other reason affect our class. There are a variety of BOCES centers that may be closed from time to time. These closings do not affect our class. The only exception would be if all BOCES special education classes are canceled. That announcement would pertain to our class.
Q: What are the procedures if I must pick my child up from school for an appointment?
A: Our class will follow the procedure for all other students in the building. That is:
A note from the parent or guardian must be received prior to picking up students. Visitors or parents picking up students at Frontier High School should report to door #14 by the South Office. Upon entering the school, visitors will be asked to show picture identification and to sign the log. Your child will be summoned to the South Office and meet you there. It should be noted that no access to the building will be granted via any door other than door #14 during the school day. Therefore, if you are dropping off your child after 7:25 A.M. you must also do so at door # 14.Thank you for your cooperation with this new procedure.
Q: What is the best way to contact the teacher?
A: Three options are available. They are: a note sent in with a student, phone call (at 926-1720 x2130) between the hours of 7:15 and 2:30, or e-mail (aceccarelli@frontier.wnyric.org, or amarranca-ceccarelli@e1b.org). Unless e-mail or voice mail are not working properly, all three modes will work equally well and should be responded to within one school day.
Q: How is vocational training incorporated into the classroom?
A: Students participate in a variety of work experiences in the school building as well as in the community. Activities in the classroom include tasks students may encounter at work settings. Students are placed in community work settings according to their interests and abilities. Placements are always contingent on acceptable behavior exhibited in the school setting as well as in the work setting. All placements are subject to change in accordance with student's behavior, needs, and interests.
Q: How can parents help their child be successful at school?
A: All students are required to be as self-sufficient as possible. Encouraging independence and providing choices will help them in this goal. Regarding specific students, please contact Mrs. Marranca-Ceccarelli.
Q: How can therapists or specials teachers be contacted?
A: Any of the professionals working with students in the class may be contacted through the classroom teacher. A note in a student's notebook or the contents of a phone call or e-mail, will be conveyed to any of the therapists or special teachers on the days they service our class (see web page entitled "Specials and Therapies").
Q: What supplies does my child need for school?
A: Typically most school supplies are provided. Students will need to bring in any personal items they require, and lunch or money to buy (unless receiving free/reduced lunch) on a daily basis. On days when community training experiences are scheduled, students are asked to provide money for their own lunch and/or admission. Students should have a wallet or purse to keep their money, ID and personal items in.
