Dear Flemingsburg Elementary Parents and Guardians,
Today, Flemingsburg Elementary experienced technical issues with the HVAC system that caused the system to stop working properly in several areas of the building. We immediately had technicians on campus working to identify and correct the issue.
At approximately 4:30 p.m., the issues were resolved, and the HVAC system was fully operational again. We will continue monitoring the system throughout the evening to ensure classrooms and other areas of the building are maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity levels.
I recognize that portions of the building became uncomfortably warm during the school day. That is not acceptable. Our students, faculty, and staff deserve a learning and working environment that is safe and comfortable, and we will continue working to ensure the system is operating as expected before students return tomorrow.
I appreciate the patience and understanding of our students, families, faculty, and staff as we worked through today's issues. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at brian.creasman@fleming.kyschool.us or by calling 606-845-5851.
Sincerely,
Brian Creasman

Dear Fleming Countians:
A dream years in the making will come true on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, when the new Flemingsburg Elementary School officially opens its doors to students on the district's first day of school.
This week, FES faculty and staff are making their classrooms awesome for students, while contractors complete the finishing touches throughout the building. We are only days away from opening this beautiful place of learning, one that will serve Fleming County students for decades to come.
A special thank-you must go to the faculty and staff of Flemingsburg Elementary School. Throughout the planning, transition, and move into the new building, they have demonstrated patience, flexibility, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to their students. They have invested tremendous time and energy into preparing classrooms and creating a welcoming learning environment. A beautiful building provides the space, but the people inside it make it a school. Our FES faculty and staff are bringing this new school to life.
We also cannot thank the Fleming County Board of Education and the many community members enough for helping make this dream a reality for our students, teachers, and staff. None of this was easy, but together, as a community, we made it possible.
On Monday, August 24, 2026, we look forward to welcoming students and families to the new Flemingsburg Elementary School Open House. Students and families will have the opportunity to tour the building, visit classrooms, and meet their teachers before the first day of school on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 606-845-5851 or by email at brian.creasman@fleming.kyschools.us.

Dear Fleming Countians,
In consultation with members of the School Council at Ewing Elementary School, I am excited to announce that Mrs. Jenni Trimble has been named interim principal.
Mrs. Trimble currently serves as a special education teacher and brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm to this role. Her heart for students, understanding of instructional practices, and commitment to the Ewing Elementary community will serve the school well during this transition. We are grateful for her willingness to step forward and provide leadership as interim principal.
As Ewing Elementary moves forward with a new administrative team, Mrs. Trimble has already begun planning for the upcoming school year with a strong focus on student-centered advocacy, learning, growth, mastery, and readiness. Her leadership will help continue the momentum of creating meaningful opportunities for every student to be supported, challenged, and prepared for success.
Change is never easy, and I want to sincerely thank Dr. Todd Watts for his leadership and service to Ewing Elementary School. His dedication to students, staff, and families is appreciated, and we wish him the very best.
Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Trimble into this interim leadership role and supporting Ewing Elementary as we move forward together with excitement, purpose, and a continued commitment to student success.
Our Journey Continues...
