Flynn Update
September 12th, 2023
Hello Flynn Families,
We hope this message finds you well. As we wrap up the first month of school, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for making it a great start to the school year. Your support and cooperation have been invaluable, and we are looking forward to the exciting events and activities we have planned for the coming month.
Safety Reminder
If you need to pick up your child early, please make sure to have your ID with you as we require identification to ensure that only authorized individuals can pick up your child. Additionally, if someone other than you will be picking up your child, and they are not listed on the emergency contact list, we will contact you for permission before allowing your child to leave with them. Lastly, when dropping off your child in the morning, please use the front entrance of the school and the crosswalk with the crossing guard. This ensures that there is an adult present to help your child safely cross the street. If students are dropped off in other areas of the school, there is no crossing guard present to ensure their safety. We understand that mornings and afternoons can be hectic, but it is crucial that we all follow these procedures to ensure the safety of our children.
Picture Day
Picture Day is just around the corner. It will be held on September 15th for students from kindergarten to 8th grade. Uniforms will not be required for the entire school on this day, so your child can wear their favorite outfit for the picture.
Teacher Work Day
Friendly reminder that September 18th is a non-student contact, teacher work day. There will be no school on this day.
Westminster High School Homecoming Parade
We are excited to inform you that the homecoming parade will take place on September 23rd, starting at 10:00 AM from Westminster High School and proceeding down Lowell by Hidden Lake Secondary School. This is a great opportunity for families to come together and show support for our school and community. We will also have a float in the parade, so make sure to find a seat early to get a good view of the parade. See below for homecoming spirit week information.
Literacy Night
Lastly, we are thrilled to announce a Literacy Night on October 5th from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM. Every student will receive a free book, and food will be provided. We will have a selection of books suitable for pre-K to middle school students. It is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, enjoy a meal, and promote the love of reading. We will also have a bin for uniform donations as well that night.
We are looking forward to seeing you at these events and appreciate your support in keeping our students safe. Thank you for being a valued member of the Flynn community.
Best regards,
Dr. Chism
