Flat Gap Elementary School

Flat Gap classrooms continued high levels of engagement this week! Our teachers design lessons that meet the needs of all kinds of learners! #GreyhoundGrit #GreatandGettingGreater #EngagementMatters #LearningLabs #LeaderinMe #KAGAN #HQIR

Mrs. Trimble's 2nd grade students build community by identifying and sharing items they value! #GreyhoundGrit #GreatandGettingGreater #LeaderinMe #CommunityBuilding

Through ongoing communication with Carissa’s parents, and in honoring their wishes for their daughter, the Johnson County School District asks our entire community to unite in support of her family.

We invite all students, staff, and community members to wear pink on Monday, August 17. Pink was Carissa’s favorite color, and wearing it together will serve as a symbol of our shared love, unity, and support.

Per her parents' wishes, all district schools—including Johnson County Middle School—will be in session on Monday. District flags will fly at half-staff in Carissa’s honor, and counselors and school psychologists will continue to be available in our schools to support our students and staff.

Please continue to keep Carissa’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
