Flynn Academy Update
January 2024
Flynn Families,
As we prepare to transition from January to the month of February, I'm eager to share some updates and important reminders with our community. Also, I'm pleased to share that Flynn has been experiencing an unprecedented number of inquiries from new families looking to join us. It's a wonderful affirmation of the nurturing and quality educational environment you, our students, and the staff have created together. Thank you for spreading word about Flynn!
- Registration for Next School Year: For all our current families, registration for the next school year is now open. To ensure your child's place at Flynn, click here to register your student. We advise completing this as soon as possible, as waiting until the summer may risk missing out on a spot due to high demand. Please call or stop by the school if you need assistance registering.
Welcome Ms. Olivia Conner: We extend a warm welcome to Ms. Olivia Conner, our new Music Teacher and a recent CU Boulder graduate. She has quickly become an integral part of our team. You can meet her during morning duty in the gym. We thank Mr. Jon Gauer for his work as a sub first semester.
District Coat Drive and Open House: On January 30th at the Dan Vallez Center. This is an opportunity for families to come and pick up a coat for the winter and get a free meal. Transportation is available, and you can find times and more details on the flyers included below.
New After-School Program - Girls on the Run: Starting soon for 3rd to 5th grade girls, focusing on empowerment and culminating in a 5k in May. More information will be sent home with your students.
Picture Day: Scheduled for Tuesday, February 6th. Students are welcome to dress out of uniform to look their best.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Taking place on February 12th from 2-6 PM and February 13th from 4-8 PM. Details for scheduling will be provided through Class Dojo or Friday folders.
Valentine's Day Party: Students can dress out of uniform on February 14th. Teachers will inform you about party times, mostly in the last hour of the day. Please coordinate with your child's teacher if you plan to attend.
Next PTO Meeting: Also on February 14th at 4 PM, with child care available.
As we navigate the hustle and bustle of our school routine, let's take a moment to ensure the safety of our entire school community, starting with the parking lot. We kindly remind all parents to exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws when dropping off or picking up your children. Please observe posted speed limits, yield to pedestrians, and refrain from using mobile devices while driving through the parking lot.
I also want to address a sensitive matter. Recently, there have been instances where interactions from parents to staff have been less than cordial. While I understand that emotions can run high, and life’s stresses can sometimes spill over, it's crucial to remember that our staff's dedication stems from a deep care for our students' well-being. If you have any concerns or issues, please feel free to discuss them directly with me or the Assistant Principal, Ms. Pearson rather than the front office or duty staff. I will always make myself available to a parent or guardian. We're all part of the same team, striving to create the best environment for our children.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a respectful and supportive community. Your involvement and support make Flynn a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow.
Warmly,
Dr. Chism
