Twenty years ago today, our community voted to invest in Flat Rock Elementary School.
At the groundbreaking, Michele Wiles, now a 4K teacher at FRES, predicted the school would “bring life back to the community.”
She was right.
Flat Rock Elementary has become the heart of a growing community and a place where students and staff walk in growth and learning together every day.
Thank you to the Anderson 3 residents who made that vision possible in 2006. Your investment continues to shape lives.

🚨Reminder: Join us in dressing up this Monday, March 2nd, for Read Across America Day at Flat Rock! 📚
As a school, we’ve been working hard to grow our vocabulary this year! To showcase what we've learned, students and staff will dress as a vocabulary word. Choose a word that describes you, wear an outfit that shows what it means, and make sure your word is clearly visible for everyone to read! ✨
Congratulations to our 4th and 5th grade Battle of the Books championship teams! Our 5th graders won the title of "School Champions" and both teams participated in highly competitive battles all week!
Our first graders have been practicing their informational text reading and writing skills. They've read a nonfiction selection about crabs and have completed these awesome informational posters.

Sequencing words matter! 📚
Whether we’re reading, writing, or telling someone how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, words like first, next, then, and last help our ideas make sense.
Without sequencing, stories get confusing… and sandwiches get messy! 😅
Mrs. Blanton’s first graders learned that smart readers, writers, and sandwich makers use sequencing words and details! 🥪💛
