Flagler County School District
Spring brings many changes to our campuses here in Flagler County . Our teachers are able to take their classrooms outside more and on our campuses , you ’ ll see gardens springing up , as students are able to put lessons learned inside the classroom to practical use . This enables them to see with their own eyes the lessons they first discovered in a textbook come to life .
This is also a time for our annual assessments , as students are tested on their mastery of their core classes . I want to commend our students , teachers , staff and administrators for preparing for these exams . I ’ ve asked everyone to finish this year strong and take it a day , or a week , at a time . I want all of us to take a moment to check on a child , check on a teacher and check on a staff member to make sure they ’ re okay and ready to take on this challenge .
After testing , of course , there is celebration . I ’ d like to congratulate all of our students , teachers , staff and parents for completing another school year . I realize that there were challenges along the way , but I am so proud of everybody for all of their hard work and dedication to make this another great year for Flagler Schools .
Flagler Schools recently concluded our annual Communication Survey . I want to personally thank everyone who took the time to complete it . This has always been a great tool to check how we are communicating with our families . Improved communication is part of our Strategic Plan and we are committed to finding the best ways to keep everyone informed , whether they are a parent , student , employee or community member .
Finally , as we start to wind down the 2021-2022 school year , Flagler Schools is also beginning to ramp up planning for the 2022-2023 session . Next year we will face changes such as moving 6th grade to middle school , rezoning some students and transitioning to a 7-period day at the high schools . I realize that change is never easy , but I am confident that with teamwork and patience , we can make it an amazing year . Please continue to check our district website ,

Working Together ,
