La Escuela Fratney

La Escuela Fratney La Escuela Fratney is a Citywide Two-Way Dual Language school in the Riverwest neighborhood. Parents, staff and the community play an active role in the school.

La Escuela Fratney is a citywide Two Way Dual Language school in the Riverwest neighborhood that serves approximately 450 students from K3 through Grade 5. It is the focal point of a multi- ethnic neighborhood that is involved in the educational program at Fratney. Together we work to provide a quality program that sets high standards for all students. Several important components are described be

low. The Dual Language program offers students the benefits of learning in two languages. All students are learning a second language and serve as models for each other. The two languages are valued equally. In our program there is a reason and purpose for learning another language from the beginning of the school experience. Balanced Literacy instruction emphasizes integrated learning through the use of children’s literature in two languages. Fratney boasts of an extensive library collection in both Spanish and English. All students learn to read in both languages. Literacy skills are taught in a print- rich environment with the goal of developing life-long learners. Multicultural, anti-racist education is at the core of La Escuela Fratney’s educational philosophy. The cultural diversity of the students and their families is considered a strength. Our school-wide themes help students to connect their own experiences to lessons in various subject areas. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of young learners preparing for life in a multicultural, multiracial society. A commitment to collaborative leadership is demonstrated by the structure of management with staff participating on the School Council, the Learning Team, the Building/Steering Committee, curriculum based committees, and Grade Level Teams. Parent and family involvement is an integral part of Fratney’s educational program. Opportunities for involvement include participation in the School Council, PTA, Literacy, Math and Science events, and other volunteer opportunities. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in their child’s classroom and attend field trips and school-wide events and presentations. Fratney has a “state-of-the art” facility that offers our students and the broader community a welcoming space to focus on the academic achievement and personal growth of our students. Because of the Dual Language Program, students need to enroll in K3 or K4 or take a Spanish test to enter the program.

We are especially grateful to:
💙 Our families who generously donated water and popsicles.
💙 Our incredible staff who volunteered their time and energy.
💙 Every family who joined us for an evening of fun and community.
A special thank you to Coach Maggie, who introduced our students to fun Playworks Wisconsin games as we look forward to welcoming Playworks Wisconsin back to La Escuela Fratney this school year. We also appreciate the Milwaukee Public Library for providing a wonderful reading area where children and families could enjoy books together. Students enjoyed games, face painting, popsicles, bubbles, time with friends, and so many smiles! One of the highlights of the evening was welcoming many new families who will be joining the La Escuela Fratney community for the very first time.

We were also excited to welcome several new members of our Fratney team who attended the carnival and had the opportunity to meet our students and families. Please join us in welcoming Matthew Ayala, Assistant Principal; Diego Martinez, 7th Grade Bilingual Teacher; Maria Pajaro, 6th Grade Bilingual Teacher; and Alma Rodriguez Godinez, 2nd Grade Bilingual Teacher. We are thrilled to have them join our school community and know they will make a positive difference in the lives of our students.

Un agradecimiento especial a la entrenadora Maggie, quien dirigió divertidos juegos de Playworks mientras esperamos con entusiasmo el regreso de Playworks Wisconsin a La Escuela Fratney este año escolar. También agradecemos a la Biblioteca Pública de Milwaukee, que ofreció un espacio de lectura donde niños y familias pudieron disfrutar de los libros juntos. Los estudiantes disfrutaron de juegos, pintacaritas, paletas heladas, burbujas, tiempo con sus amigos y muchas sonrisas. Uno de los momentos más especiales de la tarde fue dar la bienvenida a muchas familias nuevas que formarán parte de la comunidad de La Escuela Fratney por primera vez.

También nos dio mucho gusto presentar a varios de los nuevos integrantes de nuestro equipo, quienes asistieron al carnaval y tuvieron la oportunidad de conocer a nuestros estudiantes y familias. Acompáñennos a dar una cálida bienvenida a Matthew Ayala, Subdirector; Diego Martinez, maestro bilingüe de 7.º grado; Maria Pajaro, maestra bilingüe de 6.º grado; y Alma Rodriguez Godinez, maestra bilingüe de 2.º grado.

🎒 La Escuela Fratney School Supply List 📚

As you get ready for the new school year, please use La Escuela Fratney's school supply list when purchasing supplies. You can also find the list in our weekly Monday Message.

While our list is very similar to the MPS school supply list, there are a few important differences. Most of our classrooms use community supplies, which means students share items such as crayons, colored pencils, pencils, markers, and other classroom materials. This helps ensure that every child has equitable access to the same high-quality supplies while fostering a caring classroom community where students learn to cooperate, share, and support one another. We also have taken off items that we do not use or need at our school. Most important is a full size back for every student! This can and should be labled.

Please do not label school supplies, as they will be used as shared classroom materials.

If possible, we encourage families to bring school supplies to our Open House in late August. Thank you for helping us prepare for a wonderful start to the school year. We can't wait to welcome everyone back! 💙💛

🎒 Lista de Útiles Escolares de La Escuela Fratney 📚

Mientras se preparan para el nuevo año escolar, les pedimos que utilicen la lista de útiles escolares de La Escuela Fratney al hacer sus compras. También pueden encontrar la lista en nuestro Mensaje de los Lunes (Monday Message).

Aunque nuestra lista es muy similar a la lista de útiles de MPS, hay algunas diferencias importantes. En la mayoría de nuestros salones utilizamos materiales comunitarios, lo que significa que los estudiantes comparten crayones, lápices de colores, lápices, marcadores y otros útiles escolares. Esta práctica garantiza que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso equitativo a los mismos materiales de alta calidad y promueve un ambiente de colaboración, generosidad y apoyo mutuo.

Les pedimos que no escriban el nombre de su hijo(a) en los útiles escolares, ya que serán compartidos como materiales del salón.

Si les es posible, los invitamos a traer los útiles escolares a nuestro Open House a finales de agosto. ¡Gracias por ayudarnos a preparar un excelente comienzo para el nuevo año escolar! ¡Estamos muy emocionados de darles la bienvenida de nuevo! 💙💛
