February is like a mullet...

 

February is Black History Month, and the Flagstaff Unified School District is proud to celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of individuals of the African Diaspora.  Please let me know what you are planning (any activities or events) so that I can get our communications department here to highlight you and your students (photos and interviews). 
You all do amazing work.  Show it off! 


Mrs. Carrozzino continues to move mountains when it come to supporting students, staff and families.  Thank you, Mrs. C, for your continued work on SEL lessons, your support of MEMS staff and students this week and your consistent flexibility in where your every day leads you.  You are appreciated!  You are so good at it! 

Happy School Counseling week!

Speaking of counseling, Shannon Willis' last day on campus is next Wednesday, February 8th from 8:15-12:00 (in Mrs. Hauer's office). However, you can always reach out to her and she will be happy to come to campus or virtually visit via zoom. She is not going away 😊

AASA and AZSci Marshall Testing Schedule

          Click above to see what is coming!  It is a school-wide focus as we find ways to support our 5th graders in AZScience and our 3-5th graders in AASA.  We will make sure their testing environments are set up for success (no transition in halls).  

We must also do the same with AZELLA which is starting this week for some of our students.  Please be so mindful of the signs in the hall and on their doors.  They have a speaking and listening section and if they are interrupted at all, we have to call the state and report.  It is so much more work.  Please note these times and consider another restroom time or place outside of the science lab and room 5 with whole class.  Thank you all for your attention and support of our amazing ELL students!  They've got this!  Let's encourage them all!   

Monday Feb 6- Thursday Feb 9
8:50am -10:00am - TESTING
2:00pm-3:00pm - TESTING

Feb 21- March 8
AZELLA TESTING WINDOW FOR ALL beginning at 9am with a break mid-day. Testing times depend on each and every student.   
*There will be no pull out ELL services during this time. All testing will take place in both Rm 5 and the Science lab.

March 6-8 
Make ups as need in Rm 5

 FUSD teachers are invited to apply to the NEH summer workshop Racialized Spaces on Route 66. This is a great opportunity for FUSD teachers to prepare students for the 2026 100 year anniversary of Route 66 (so cool). The workshop is based here in Flagstaff and will support various standards in the grade 3-12 curriculum. 

Below is the link to the program website as well as their instagram and facebook pages. For local teachers this is a place based program, offers a $1300 stipend to cover any costs, and provides space to create curriculum. Let me know if you take advantage of this opportunity.
