Flett Flash 1/31/23

  • Pauline Flett Families:

    Our Riverhawks are working hard to finish the semester strong. Students have had opportunities to turn in late assignments and re-take assessments for an improved grade. Our staff created special opportunities for students to complete these assignments and assessments. Make sure and ask your student what they were able to accomplish these last few weeks of the semester. Please see below for timely updates and reminders:

    • Our one and only fundraiser! Do you want to help Flett raise funds by selling wrapping paper or cookie dough!? Probably not! Did you know that these type of fund raisers take 30-40% of the profit from schools? Due to several policies, Flett and Yasuhara cannot have an ASB fundraiser until next year. However, we can accept donations. One hundred percent of funds will go towards supporting Flett students. Please consider making a donation in support of students activities and field trips. Click here to donate today. Alternatively, we’re looking for donated items for our FUNd Fest by house:
      • Earth: Pop/Gatorade cans/bottles (no two-liter bottles please:)
      • Fire: Candy - individually wrapped portion sizes.  
      • Water: Chips/Popcorn - individually wrapped portion sizes.  
      • Wind: Crackers/Cookies - individually wrapped sizes
    • Parents of 6th graders: it's finally happening!!! Intramurals are starting February 13th (As does wrestling for 7th grade)!  Volleyball will be after school Monday and Wednesdays and basketball will be after school Tuesday and Thursdays. Both will meet in the gym and be from 3:30-5:15pm. Sign up through FinalForms - https://spokane-wa.finalforms.com/
    • Semester 1 is ending: Report cards will not be mailed home but instead will be available online through PowerSchool on February 9th! PowerSchool is a great resource to use throughout the school year to check on your student's grades, absences, and any missing assignments or tests! https://powerschool.spokaneschools.org/public or through the app! Need an Access ID or Password? Already have an account but can't add your Flett student? Call the Flett office at 509-824-8000 or email ThereseS@spokaneschools.org to get them emailed to you.
    • Join us for our Parent Advisory Committee meeting at Flett. Staff will share some updates and gather feedback on how to back Flett the best it can be. Anyone may join. Simply check in at the main office. 2/6 @3:45 PM.
    • School Spirit: You can order Flett Riverhawk AND House Gear for the whole family!
    • Student Pick-up: If the pick-up and drop off lane is full, use of the staff/event parking lot is a great option. There is space available daily. Please do not use the bus lane, however. =)
    • Parents and students may now purchase a yearbook at Flett from our Business Office from 8:00-4:00 with cash or credit card. Yearbooks are still available for purchase online! The prior glitch is resolved.
    • Support our Shadle Park Highlanders for our annual Groovy Shoes Basketball Event! There is a special seating area for families: Section 106. When:  Wednesday, February 1. Varsity Girls' Game @ 5:30 pm and Varsity Boys' Game @ 7:15 pm. Location: Spokane Arena.
