Welcome to Flowing Wells Jr. High school, home of the proud Mustangs--the strong and mighty ones! We have great school pride and proudly wear our blue and gold. We're glad you're here to visit and learn more about our junior high school.

We have the pleasure of teaching your 7th and 8th graders every day. We've been here since 1976 and our teachers look forward to each year they have to spend time with your children. We want students to know and believe that learning is fun and the right attitude brings success. With just around 800 students, our teachers stay attentive as they teach each one of your children.

Flowing Wells Jr. High is located in the "Urban Fringe of a Large City," namely Tucson, AZ. With tons of community involvement, it's a wonderful location to educate your children and feel good about entrusting them in our care each day.

Please spend a few moments in this site to stay familiar with the school, its calendar and events, or anything else that interests you. Our FAQ page will help you find basic answers to your questions. If you can't find something you need to know, please contact us.

We encourage parents to check on student progress using their student’s WorldByMe account. This tool allows parents and students to discuss their student’s grades, progress, and allows parents and students to contact the teachers through email.

Dear Parents and Students,

It's hard to believe we're into the second semester. Progress reports will be mailed home Friday, February 5, 2010. You don’t need to wait until progress reports to keep up the communication with your student’s teachers. Log on to worldbyme.com.

Family Lunch Give Away: 
Southwest Foods has teamed up with Flowing Wells Junior High to treat 10 families to lunch during the month of February. Read through the newsletter to see if your name appears. Winning families were drawn by random! If your name appears, come to the front office the day you want to eat lunch and redeem your free school lunch tickets, then enjoy lunch with us (maximum of six family members can attend). Call Mr. Wells if you have any questions.

Our 8th grade Senators are returning from a whirlwind tour of Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City. The travelers experienced history live and now have memories for a lifetime. Seventh graders are gearing up for their first science trip of the year to California. Here at Flowing Wells Junior High we are thankful for your support of our after school sports programs, Skills for Success program, and all the Fine Arts offered. Student extracurricular activities help to educate the whole child.

Congratulations to Sabrina Bustamante. She was recognized for her essay “When is it the Right Time to Honor Our Military Heroes?” at the Ladies Auxiliary VFW Post #10008. Mr. Mario Ruiz was also recognized as the VFW Teacher of the Year. We are very proud of our Amazing Mustangs.

Safety: It's very important that families talk to their child regarding stranger danger. It is important that we work as a team to teach children to be alert as they walk to and from school. Being aware of your surroundings is a great way to be safe at all times, not just at school! Encourage your child to walk with friends and to take the most direct route to and from school. If someone approaches your child, they should know to make noise and get away from the situation. Seeking help from businesses and alerting authorities by calling 911 and letting the school know is key. Together we make our community safer.
This issue has lots of information. The staff at Flowing Wells Junior High welcomes you to participate in your child’s education with us. As always, feel free to contact your child’s teacher or myself if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,



Pete Wells, Principal
