PARENT INFORMATION

We highly value the communication between our parents and the school staff.  The following is a list of the ways you may receive information about your child's classroom, Flatirons Elementary, and the Boulder Valley School District.

Flatirons Newsletter:   The school newspaper contains information regarding all aspects of Flatirons School such as upcoming events, awards, program information, and some community events.

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO):   This group of parents, teachers and school staff organize fundraising activities and social events for the Flatirons School.  All Flatirons parents are members and are encouraged to attend monthly meetings held on the third Thursday of the month at 3:00 p.m.

School Improvement Team (SIT):   This group of parents, teachers, school staff, and community patrons are the school's decision making body.  They work together to assess how to improve Flatirons' student achievement, student attendance, the graduation rate, and the school's valuing of cultural diversity. 

School Directory:   The school directory is published yearly in the fall.  It contains the address, phone number and parent names of each student.  Also included are the school's calendar, school governance team, and school staff.
