 Principals at the Playground

Come say hi and meet our new Assistant Principal on Thursday, August 11th from 2:30 – 4:00 pm on the Floris playground. Ms. Walker and Mr. Gibbs will be there to connect with Floris families. Feel free to come by between 2:30-4:00 to hang out, chat, or play on the playground.  


Open House

 

Who: Parent and Students 

What: Open House- a time to tour the building, see your classroom, bring your school supplies, meet the teachers and help everyone prepare for a fabulous first day of school. 

When: Thursday, August 18 

  • Kindergarten & 1st: 9:30-10:15am 
  • 2nd & 3rd grade: 10:30-11:15am
  • 4th, 5th & 6th grade: 11:30am-12:15pm 

Where: Everyone will enter through the Main Entrance (Door 1) and exit from the cafeteria (Door 6) to assist with traffic flow.

Why are the times split? Parking is very limited here at Floris. We ask that you please stay within these times so that families are able to find parking. 

Please remember that you should NOT park on the yellow fire lanes, at the Fire Station, or in an area that blocks any fire hydrants/mailboxes/driveways in the neighborhood. 

We will also have Back To School Nights for parents to learn information about the grade level/class expectations and curriculum. Please watch for those details coming soon!
