From The Principal

Dear Flickinger Families,

Our staff continues to meet regularly in instructional teams to develop ways to enhance instruction. We believe a cross-curricular approach sharpens connections to real-world context for our students which makes the curriculum more significant. The connections we guide our students to make across disciplines are explicit and lead to higher level critical thinking. For example, you see more writing occurring within mathematics assignments where students explain how they arrived at their solution. The staff also integrates technology in meaningful ways to increase student engagement and deepen our studies within a content area. Discovery Education, eSpark, Dreambox, and ConnectEd are some of the digital curriculums that we utilize to build digital citizenship and curriculum knowledge.

Sincerely,

Nancy Brunetz, Principal
