About Us

FFC8's ultimate goal is to prepare today's youth for tomorrow's responsibilities. In order to do this, the school must listen to and provide opportunities for students to express how they feel about their school. The charts below represent student responses to questions about safety, academics, culture, and connection. The survey is administered twice a year. The most recent results are displayed below.  

The Wolf Pack; we’re here to serve!

The staff of Weikel Elementary school consists of passionate teachers, preschool through fifth grade. Classroom teachers are trained to plan and implement rigorous instruction based on the Colorado Academic Standards. We also have a team of teachers known as our Encore Team. The Encore Team includes a talented music teacher, a fun physical education teacher, a gifted art teacher, a research-tech savvy librarian, and a creative STEAM Lab facilitator. Weikel also has outstanding support staff such as a dedicated English as a Second Language teacher, a skilled Special Education Team, a caring school counselor, and a knowledgeable school psychologist. Our staff consists of four devoted custodians, four energetic secretaries, and several “ready to serve” food service personnel. We are also fortunate to have a full-time nurturing school nurse and health-tech, a well-versed behavior mental health professional, a relationship-building school resource officer, and an empathetic military family life counselor. The leadership team consists of a passionate principal and two excellent assistant principals.

 At Weikel, the staff identifies with a coined phrase of “The Weikel Way.” Here are their thoughts about that phrase:

• Kindergarten Team: “The Weikel Way is being intentional for kids and our community by cultivating a timely, purposeful, and flexible atmosphere while fostering close positive relationships.”
• 1st Grade Team: “The Weikel Way is the community working together as a team for the good of the kids.”
• 2nd Grade Team: "The Weikel Way is a community where all members are valued, loved, respected, and forever a part of the PACK!”
• 3rd Grade Team: “The Weikel Way is collaboration and community.”
• 4th Grade Team: “The Weikel Way is a culture of leading by example, instilling a love for learning and doing what’s best for kids.”
• 5th Grade Team: “The Weikel Way is leading from your heart, valuing community, and emphasizing journey over the destination.”
• Special Education Team: “The Weikel Way is a village that provides services for students, families, and staff to carry out a legacy to fill the needs of all within the community.”
• Encore Team: “The Weikel Way is loving and supporting the community around us!”
• Behavior Mental Health Team: “The Weikel Way is creating a culture of safety through strong relationships and consistent expectations in an effort to maximize student academic and social learning.”

This group of outstanding staff members is well trained in PBIS Strategies, Responsive Classroom Structures, standards-based instruction, and data literacy. We are equipped to provide effective learning and instruction practices.
