North Metro Flex Academy
Where You're Challenged...and Belong
A few words from our Principal, Mrs. Kranz!
Happy Summer and Welcome Back!
Welcome back to a new school year to all of our current families! For all of our new families, we welcome you to North Metro Flex Academy! This is a small community where we challenge our students and they belong! Our mascot is the Wolf and everyday we strive to be Safe, Kind and Responsible.
I hope you have enjoyed a “normal” summer enjoying activities with your friends and family. (We finally were able to go on a roadtrip we planned a couple years ago. My husband and I traveled 4,400 miles in an RV this summer with our sons, “Out West”. We went to Mount Rushmore, The Grand Tetons, Arches National Park, and had a family reunion in Reno and Lake Tahoe. )
This will be the 7th year our school has been open! I am excited to share that we have the following new staff joining our teaching and learning staff!
Kelly Winter, an experienced Middle School Math Teacher for grades 6, 7 and 8
Kaylee Nash, new classroom teacher
Chris Cowan, an experienced Middle School Math Intervention Paraprofessional Specialist for grades 6, 7 and 8
Garius Carey, an experienced Special Education and Title 1 Intervention teacher for Middle grades
Josie Borchert, new Reading and Language Arts Intervention specialist
Maddie Jagerson, a new paraprofessional for our younger grades
Gerardo Hernandez, an experienced bilingual paraprofessional for older grades
Our entire staff worked diligently last Spring to go through a very thorough curriculum adoption process for Math and Reading/English Language Arts. All of the research-based currciulum selected will be aligned to MN State Standards and research-based best practices. For reading/language arts, we have adopted Super Kids for grades K-2, My View for Grades 3-5 and My Perspective for Grades 6 – 8. For math, we have adopted Bridges for grades K-5 and Illustrative Math for grades 6 – 8.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school Tuesday, September 6, bright and early!!
Be safe, kind and responsible!
