The last Friday of every month is Spirit Day at FES! Students are encouraged to show their Blue Devil pride by wearing their Flaherty gear—old or new- or just wear blue!

Our first Spirit Day is Friday, August 28! Let’s fill the school with BLUE! 💙

Start practicing your best smile! Our Flaherty Elementary Picture Day is September 30th.

You're Invited: Take an Inside Look at Our Schools

Meade County Schools is opening its doors and inviting community members to join us for a Community Walk inside our schools. This is an opportunity to experience a typical school day, see learning in action, and connect with the incredible work happening in our classrooms.

Payneville Elementary– Tuesday, September 22 | 8:30–10:00 AM
Stuart Pepper Middle School – Tuesday, October 20 | 8:30–10:00 AM

There’s no cost to attend, but space is limited because it takes place during the school day. All participants will complete our school visitor process, including a background check, to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

If you’re interested, we’d love to welcome you. Please use the link below to sign up: https://forms.gle/13zxVVXR2FHxUzJk8

MAP Testing is August 25–27! MAP testing is different from a unit test—it measures student achievement and growth and gives our teachers valuable data to better meet each student’s individual learning needs. Please make every effort to have your child at school and present for testing on August 25–27.

We are so excited to be back with our Blue Devils! This year, we're introducing an exciting new point system through our Meade County app that will encourage positive choices and give students the opportunity to earn fun weekly and end-of-term rewards.
Parents will be able to track their child's points throughout the school day, making it easier than ever for school and home to work together to celebrate success and encourage growth.

Here's to a fantastic year of learning, teamwork, and making memories!

Each year, we ask families to complete school forms, and now is a great time to do so. All forms are completed online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal—no more paper, and only one submission per household, even if you have multiple students.
These forms are required for every student and help us:
✅ Continue offering free breakfast and lunch to all students
✅ Provide access to school health services
✅ Make sure your child is included in the yearbook and other school events
✅ Support the programs and services that benefit every student
Thanks for helping us get the year off to a strong start.

Chromebooks are an important part of learning at Flaherty Elementary! As we begin the school year, we want to make sure our students understand how to use and care for their devices responsibly. All homeroom teachers reviewed these expectations with their classes last week, so we want to share them with our families. Please take a few minutes to review these Chromebook Expectations with your child as well so we can work together to keep our devices safe and ready for learning all year long!

Thank you for helping us teach our Blue Devils to learn, create, and achieve!

Our first House Rally of the year was a huge success at Flaherty Elementary! Today, we welcomed our newest Blue Devils by sorting them into one of our four houses: Perseverance Pavilion, Respect Ridge, Integrity Island, or Empathy Estate! Throughout the school year, students will earn points for their house by demonstrating our school values, making positive choices, and showing Blue Devil pride. The competition will continue all year as each house works toward earning the most points and claiming the House Championship in May! We are so excited for another incredible year of learning, growing, and building our Flaherty family. Let the house competition begin!

Big news for Team Meade families!

Every Meade County student will receive free breakfast and lunch throughout the entire 2026–2027 school year.

Once again, we submitted our application using the important information families provide through beginning-of-year forms, and we have officially been approved for another year. We are excited to provide this benefit to every family while ensuring all students have access to nutritious meals each school day.

We can''t wait to see our Blue Devils on Wednesday! We've been releasing information for the upcoming 26-27 school year throughout the month of July. Here's everything you need to know to be prepared for the first day of our new school year!

New Flaherty Blue Devil gear is here! Whether you're a student, parent, staff member, or proud supporter, now is the perfect time to grab your favorite Blue Devil apparel and accessories. Wear your school spirit with pride and help us show everyone what it means to be a Blue Devil! 💙

We can't wait to see our Blue Devils on August 5th!

The first day of school will be here before we know it! To help everyone have a smooth start, we've attached our campus map and car rider information for you to review before school begins.

If your child will be riding the bus, be sure to stop by and meet our amazing bus drivers at Open House on Monday, July 28. They'll be available to answer questions and help make sure your student is ready for a great first day.

📢 IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚌

Please take a moment to review this important update regarding transportation at the Flaherty Campus. We appreciate your attention and cooperation as we work to keep our students and families informed! 💙

Our campus is excited to host an American Red Cross Community Blood Drive on Monday, July 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Flaherty Elementary Gym!

There's never been a better time to donate! The American Red Cross will be raffling off a family 4-pack of Six Flags tickets every hour during the blood drive, giving donors multiple chances to win while making a lifesaving difference.

Feel free to schedule an appointment in advance or simply stop by during the event. Every donation counts, and every donor matters. Invite a friend, roll up your sleeve, and help us make a positive impact in our community.

Thank you for your continued support—we hope to see you there! ❤️🩸
