Hey There Flynn Families!Great parent support last week for a myriad of events at Flynn school including the first ever Principal's Coffee, the monthly PTO meeting and the Bookfair and Hot Dog Supper. Crazy already and then to think they were all scheduled for the same day! If you missed having coffee and conversation with the Principal, don't fret as you will have another opportunity on April 17th to find out about what's happening at Flynn with the upcoming school construction.
At the first Principal Coffee held April 5th, several parents voiced concern about speeding on Starr Farm Road near the school. It was suggested that parents call the Burlington Police Department and request that officers be present and/or run radar at drop off and dismissal times. If you feel strongly about this issue and the safety of our students please call the Burlington Police non-emergency line at 658-2704 and request to speak with dispatch. The more concerned families that call the more likely we'll see results.
Principal Clarke said the construction update meeting on Tuesday, April 17th at 6:30 p.m. would be a good place to discuss the possibility of adding speed bumps, a crosswalk and signs indicating the area is a school zone and reminding drivers it is state law to stop for pedestrians. A parking engineer will be meeting with Principal Clarke and touring the property in the next week or so.
Thanks for slowing down and keeping an eye out for our children!

The Annual Staff Luncheon is scheduled for Friday, May 11th. Each year, parents across the grades come together to provide yummy food and recess coverage so all the staff can have a leisurely lunch. Planning has begun and we will put out some more specific needs soon, but in the meantime, we already know that we will need a large crew of parents out on the playground between the hours of 11:30-1ish. Ideally, parents sign up so they are out at the same time as their own children - K/1 is the first recess, then 2/3 and finally 4/5. We are looking for about a 1 hour committment either earlier or later - What say you??? Contact the PTO at flynnschoolpto@gmail.com to inquire.
