Principal's Message

Welcome to Florida Mesa, home of the Mustangs!

We are pleased to have you as partners in the 2011-2012 school year. Many of our students attending school have shown off their new shoes, backpacks, lunch boxes and pencils….and I see them bubbling with the excitement of beginning a new school year! The excitement is infectious and the FM Staff are excited to do what they do best….help student achieve to the best of their abilities!
A new school year presents opportunities for new beginnings---new classes---new faces---new materials and new programs. Florida Mesa welcomes Christine Siodla, Third grade teacher, Jennifer Barry, fifth grade teacher, Whitney Vaughan, 1st grade teacher, Kimberly Seim, Kindergarten teacher, Lorena Norton, teacher of G/T, Bill LaShell, Music teacher and Maria Goodin, teacher for ELL and Spanish. Also joining our support staff are Kathleen Ledger, Sp. Ed. Instructional Aide, and Cisco Merritt, evening custodian.
We would like you to join us in warm wishes for Amy Colyar who has joined the Riverview school staff, Leo Garand who has joined the staff at the Dolores, Colorado Elementary school and Diann Wylie who joined the ranks of retired teachers.
The School Based Health Clinic is here! Have you ever been at home or work and found that your child is sick at school? Now Florida Mesa will have the services of a doctor in the School Based Health Clinic either in person or through telehealth! More information on how families can access health care at the school will be forthcoming. A grand opening is planned for October 20th.

Hope to see all of you in our school real soon!
Cynthia Smart, Principal
