Dear Flint Hill Family,
Even though it was an abbreviated week for our students, there were many successes! We had a virtually amazing day on Thursday which provided us an opportunity to share many smiles!
As we reach the end of second quarter, we reflect on student academic progress thus far and implications for instruction regarding the second half of the year. Monday is a staff development day, and it provides us an opportunity to participate in professional learning and to discuss student gains. While we will make good use of this time, we also look forward to seeing our students again on Tuesday!
Warmly,
Dr. Jennifer Hertzberg, Principal
Mr. Ross Baker, Assistant Principal

Students May Submit COVID Vaccination Status
You may wish to voluntarily share your child’s COVID-19 vaccination information with us. However, we do not require your child’s vaccination information, and no school employee will ask for your child’s vaccination status. The only exception is student-athletes, who are required to share their vaccination status to participate in their sport or activity.
If you would like to provide us with your child’s vaccination status, please bring your child’s COVID-19 vaccination card or a photocopy of the card to Mrs. Eason, our Student Information Assistant (SIA). COVID-19 vaccination documentation contains Protected Health Information and should not be emailed.
As always, you are welcome to contact us if you have any questions!

We continue to highlight learning experiences that support the acquisition of Portrait of a Graduate attributes and skills across our community and Google classrooms.
We promote Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in many ways at Flint Hill. Using the Responsive Classroom approach, students reinforce their skills of #communicating, #collaborating, and are part of creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for all!
For more information on Portrait of a Graduate, ask your child how they are a communicator, collaborator, critical and creative thinker, goal-directed and resilient individual, or ethical and global citizen. Or, click here!
Please click on our hashtag, #FHESfamily, for more awesome highlights from Flint Hill! There are just too many to highlight them all!
Tweet, tweet, Flint Hill family!
