PrincipalLowe HELLO FROM PRINCIPAL LOWE


Dear Flagstaff Families,

Welcome back everyone!!
What a great first week of school we've had! I so love when students return from the summer break because it is always so quiet and unsettling when they aren't here.  

Walking through classrooms this week, I have loved seeing the relationships being built in the classrooms - student to student and staff to students. Research shows that when students feel a connection to their class, their achievement soars. Our staff is certainly working hard to create a safe and nurturing environment for your children. From our new CHAMPs classroom management system to our emerging technologies, to our Restorative Practices, we are here to meet the social, emotional, and educational needs of your children.

Enjoy your weekend and we'll see everyone back here on Monday!

Robin Lowe
Executive Principal

The PTO executive board would like to thank all parent volunteers for helping to build and strengthen the Flagstaff Academy community through your participation in the PTO. Participating makes all the difference to the parents, teachers, staff, and children at our school! 
 

The PTO is relaunching the King Soopers fundraising program - a super easy way to raise money for our school. Purchase a $10 reloadable cash card from PTO reps at the back-to-school events or turn in an order form. Load the card up and then buy groceries or gas at any Kroger locations. 5% of what you spend goes to the school we love.
