Hello Floyd Light Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year—home of the Falcons! I am honored to serve as your new Floyd Light Middle School principal. After several years as vice principal, I’m excited to continue our journey together and deepen our work in service of our Falcon community.

This year, we are proud to serve over 740 students who bring with them the richness of 31 different home languages. Our commitment remains strong: to center relationships, responsiveness, and respect as we foster a safe, collaborative, and inspiring learning environment for our students.


Thank you for the support of our David Douglas School District voters and passing of the bond measure, Floyd Light was upgraded to a new generator, updated service lines, a modern HVAC system, and a secure entryway to improve comfort and safety.


Communication

We want to make sure every family feels connected and informed. 

Most FLMS communication will be sent electronically through ParentSquare. Please take a moment to confirm that your phone number and email address are current in our school information system.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Falcon Family News – Weekly updates
  • Falcon Feature – Periodic spotlights
  • Messages – Sent as needed
  • School Alerts – Closures, early pick-up notices, etc.

We also highly recommend using ParentVue and ParentSquare:

  • ParentSquare – Our main communication tool for emails, texts, and phone messages between principals, teachers, staff, and caregivers. Please activate your account to get the most out of this resource.
  • ParentVue – A platform to check grades, attendance, and communicate directly with teachers.

If you need help accessing either tool, our school secretaries are happy to assist.


We look forward to a year filled with meaningful connections, academic and personal growth – in the classroom and beyond. 

Fly High, Soar Strong Falcons!

Dinah Nguyen 

Principal, Floyd Light Middle School
