Dear J. Frank Dent Families:

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! It is time to get those supplies and uniforms ready! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the summer break. Be prepared for us because we are ready for you.  J. Frank Dent  “Roars” with Tiger P.R.I.D.E. as we continue our journey. We will continue to provide our students with a healthy and safe environment to learn and excel.  We know that we have a lot of work to do to prepare our students for their bright futures and we are excited to partner with each of you to ensure all of our students have equitable opportunities to achieve in 2025.

Please join us for our official “Back to School Bash” on Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm for exclusive supply giveaways and community resources. Additionally, J. Frank Dent will host an Open House for all Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten families on Friday, August 23, 2024, from 9:00-10:30 am. During this time parents will have a brief introduction to J. Frank Dent E.S., its routines, curricular programs, and academic practices.  Back-to-School Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 5th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM.   

We are looking forward to a successful opening and school year. Please be on the lookout for a DoJo message from your students' classroom teacher and information on how you as a parent can join the “Tiger Pack” and support making decisions for J. Frank Dent Elementary School.

Attached you will find the updated uniform policy and updated supply list. 

Yours in Education,

Erika Proctor
