Immunization Records Reminder
Remember that Tuesday, September 15th is the deadline to provide your child's updated immunization records or an exemption letter.
For new students, we will need a complete list of all immunizations.
Inhaler Use Policy
-
All inhalers must have the pharmacy label attached to the actual inhaler.
-
If your student has the necessary orders and permissions to carry inhalers, then the inhalers are required to be with your child at all times and not in their backpacks. In the event of an asthma attack, it is critical that the inhalers are with them. We also need to insure that the inhalers are not accessible to other students.

Last year Flagstaff Academy was ranked #3 in Longmont for the most BoxTops collected. Let's get clipping and make it to #1.
This year all classrooms have the opportunity to win BoxTop awards for submitting the following amount of BoxTops:
750 BoxTops = Chew Gum at School
1,500 BoxTops = Popcorn Party
3,000 BoxTops = Kick Ball Party
Please remember that the classroom that brings in the most BoxTops for the year will win a Pizza Party!
Thanks to the following classrooms that have already started clipping and are on their way to chew gum at School:
Cynkar 106, Applehans 95, Lewis 79
Please note that eBoxTops will not count towards these totals! Although, we appreciate all eBoxTop submittals, there is no way to track all of them to a specific classroom. eBoxTops will be included in the school totals, so please submit them. Only actual BoxTops that are turned into the teacher will count towards these classroom awards.
Important Reminders:
Please remember to put the student's name, grade and TEACHER in with all BoxTops in a sealable bag/envelope.
BoxTops with no teacher name will be included in the general BoxTop fund.
Please continue to trim the BoxTops prior to submitting them.
Please only include NON-EXPIRED BoxTops. BoxTops do expire!!!

Dining at Pingree Park
Wondering what's on the menu at Pingree Park? Concerned about dietary restrictions and/or food allergies?

Lunches are sack style (sandwich, fruit, veggies, chips, cookies) for two days.

The facility is not able to prepare individual special meals for students.
