Intro to Middle School Night: Nov. 17, 6:30 - 7:45 p.m.

Intro to Middle School Night is for all incoming 6th graders and families who are interested in Flagstaff Academy for the 26/27 school year. Our goal is for all new middle school students to enter our building next August with confidence and ease. This night is the first step to a successful transition from elementary school (or another school) to Flagstaff Academy middle school.

This is a great opportunity to meet our teachers, hear about elective options, learn about our middle school schedule, and receive the 2026-2027 course selection catalog. After a brief introduction by our school leadership, you will spend time visiting with current students and teachers and learning about all of the amazing elective choices your student(s) will have - from foreign language offerings to robotics, animation, coding, creative writing… the list goes on and on!

We meet each child where they are through small classes, flexible teaching, and personalized support in literacy, math, and other core subjects. We call them WIN (“What I Need”) blocks.
