Principal's Message

Dear Wildflower Families,

Welcome to the 2025 - 2026 school year! I am honored that you have chosen to enroll your children in our school. At Wildflower Accelerated Academy, our mission is that every student who attends our school will be ready to pursue their limitless future through honors and advanced coursework in high school and beyond.  This school year will be a year of continued growth as we maintain our focus on excellence in teaching and learning and student leadership.

Visible Learning will remain a focus for the upcoming school year. Our staff will  build students’ academic ownership through teaching our students to apply their learner dispositions when tackling complex learning experiences.  At Wildflower Accelerated Academy, effective learners “Set the P.A.C.E.”  Wildflower learners are Perseverant, Accountable, Collaborative, and Engaged! This year, we will take our focus on Visible Learning to the next level by teaching students how to give and receive effective feedback in order to improve their thinking and ability to demonstrate learning in all content areas.

As a Leader in Me school, we will build a supportive environment where every student is taught the 8 Habits of Highly Effective People and the highly effective leadership practices that accompany each habit. This year our teachers will empower students to be more actively engaged in leadership learning through the use of Leadership Portfolios to reflect on growth, set personal goals, monitor progress, and showcase achievements throughout the year. These portfolios will serve as a powerful tool to help students develop a strong sense of responsibility and pride in their leadership development.

In closing, I am so grateful to be part of the Wildflower community.  Wildflower is a special place that is made stronger by the support of our families and community members. Together, we will create a culture that embodies our school’s motto: “Students Today, Leaders Tomorrow, Learners Forever.” I am looking forward to sharing another school year with you.

Warm Regards,
Sarah Rose, Principal
Wildflower Accelerated Academy
