Principal's Message
Dear Fryberger Elementary Families and Community,
As we embark on the 2026–2027 school year, I am filled with excitement and gratitude to serve as the principal of Fryberger Elementary. It is an honor to be part of a school community with such a strong tradition of caring for students, valuing relationships, and striving for excellence.
The start of a new school year brings fresh opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. I am excited about all that we will accomplish together as we continue building on the strengths that make Fryberger such an outstanding school.
As we move forward together, we will remain grounded in three core focus areas that guide everything we do.
Academic Excellence remains at the heart of our mission. We are committed to delivering high-quality instruction grounded in essential standards and evidence-based practices. We hold high expectations while providing the support, differentiation, and enrichment students need to succeed. We want every student to leave Fryberger prepared, confident, and inspired to continue learning.
Social-Emotional Learning is vital to student success. We will continue prioritizing student well-being and fostering a safe, inclusive environment where every child feels valued. When students feel connected and supported, they are better able to learn, grow, and take on new challenges.
Community Engagement is what brings everything together. Fryberger is strongest when families, staff, and students work as partners. We will continue building a connected school family through open communication, collaboration, and care, ensuring that all voices are heard and respected.
I look forward to celebrating our students' successes, strengthening partnerships with families, and creating memorable experiences that make learning engaging and joyful. Together, we will make the 2026–2027 school year one filled with learning, growth, and success for every student.
Warm regards,
Poppy Payne
Principal, Fryberger Elementary School
