About Frost Elementary
Robert Frost Elementary was originally opened in 1964 on 22nd Avenue with an award-winning “California” design. We often wondered why anyone would think that a school with open, outside hallways was a good idea in Pasco’s chilly winters. The current Frost building held its first day of school on Sept. 2, 1998, after Pasco voters agreed to pay the cost of a new school in a May 1996 bond election. The school’s design emulates that of Longfellow Elementary. The school’s name is a tribute to the great early 20th century American poet and thinker, Robert Frost. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life, Frost earned four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry.
Frost Elementary, like many Pasco schools provides Spanish bilingual education classes. Subjects in bilingual classrooms are taught in students' primary language as they acquire English. The Spanish Bilingual Spectrum Program is also housed at Frost. This program has 98 students enrolled in kinder through 5th grade. In addition, Frost has two Structured Learning classrooms for students who need extra support both socially and academically. Frost Elementary holds daily drawings for students who have earned Cougar P.A.W.S., an incentive program recognizing students for making Positive choices, Always be safe, Work responsibly, and Showing respect.
