Our Principal

Brian Frost

Brian Frost started serving as the principal at Mary Fay Pendleton in the 2018-19 school year. He led the school through the construction process as the new campus was built. He brings a wealth of experiences including curriculum and instruction, educational technology, and site leadership. Brian has a BA in International Relations from the University of San Diego, and a MA in Educational Leadership from Cal State San Marcos.

Mr. Frost has worked in education since 1997. He worked as an Instructional Aide, a classroom teacher, an educational technology specialist, an assistant principal, and a principal. He continues his path of professional development through professional associations such as ACSA, the Association of California School Administrators. “I love working around the energy of a school site. There are so many interactions with students, staff, parents, and community members in a given day, and each of those interactions (big or small) all have a meaningful impact on the future of our students.”

Note to the Community

Dear Mary Fay Families,

Welcome to the 2022-23 school year. We look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting our new families. I am writing this letter in preparation for the year ahead.

Drop-off and student arrival on campus starts at 7:20 am. We cannot have students on campus until we have supervision for them. Do not drop students off earlier than that time; campus gates will be locked until 7:20 am. Pickup time is promptly after the end of day for the corresponding grade level.

Drop-off and pick up will occur on the sidewalk of the drop-off loop; please see the attached map. Please drive slowly and cautiously through the loop as some children and adults will be walking from the parking lot. It is appreciated by all if you have your children ready to unload and load from the vehicle quickly. This keeps the line flowing smoothly. We do have three different start and end times (see our bell schedule) which will help spread out the flow of traffic.

Busses will run in the morning and afternoon for families in the qualified bussing ranges. Complete a transportation application if you are interested in bussing. Bus drop-off and pick up is located behind the campus gates. Please, be mindful of busses coming and going through the driveway; they need some room to maneuver.

I look forward to seeing our returning students and meeting our new families. The whole staff is excited to welcome you to the 2022-23 school year.

Very Respectfully,

Brian Frost, Principal
