Dear Flamingo Family,

As we start the 2024-2025 school year, we can all take pride in the many successes and our continued academic progress at Flamingo Elementary. Our student achievement results in reading, math, and science all improved from the previous year, with our math and science scores the highest it has ever been in Flamingo history, but this is only a small part of our many accomplishments. Although we may have missed an "A" school grade by one solitary point (it is under review), that in no way diminishes the enormous success that our school has achieved.  We know the areas that we need to put a larger emphasis on to ensure that ALL of our students are improving academically at a high rate, and I am very confident that we will not only receive an A school grade this year but will be the highest "A" that we have ever achieved. It is important to note that our teachers and staff at Flamingo not only put forth a strong academic focus, but they also provide an enormous amount of love and care to each and every student. 

One of the many aspects of our school that we are particularly proud of is the many opportunities that our faculty and staff give our students during and after school.  Last year our students participated in musical theater, ukulele instruction, gardening and environmental stewardship, computer coding, flag football, student council, academic tutoring, National Honor Society, debate, and a whole lot more.  This coming year we plan to offer even more opportunities by adding additional clubs that students can participate in after school.  Our belief is that it is important that we teach the "whole child" by giving them multiple opportunities to shine either on stage, by participating in competitions, or by serving our community.

Another critical area that we pride ourselves on is providing the very best customer service possible.  It is always our joy to assist our students and their families in any way that we can.  In order to solve problems quickly and efficiently, we do ask that you reach out directly to your child's teacher if it is a classroom concern, or administration if it is an issue that was previously addressed but was not resolved.  If it is a school related matter, our assistant principal, Ms. McNabb or I are willing and able, with our pledge that someone will address your concern in 24 hours or less.  By working together, there is no problem that we cannot resolve. 

I am very excited to be starting the new school year as we have some new talent that has joined our already stellar faculty and staff.  Flamingo Elementary continues to strive to create unique and innovative ways to support and create opportunities that make our school a place where all children enjoy coming to learn, develop strong relationships, and continue to grow each day socially, emotionally, and academically. The 2024-2025 school year will be our best ever!
