A Note from The Principal

Forest Hills Families,

Welcome back! We have had an excellent first week of school! Students have done wonderful learning our routines and procedures while also making new friends and fun memories!

If you haven't watched our Orientation Video or Traffic Flow Videos yet, please do so! These videos have essential information that you need to know for the year ahead.

We are looking forward to a great year! If there is any way I can assist you or your child, please let me know!

Thank you,

Mrs. Fowler, Principal

Transportation Placard Reminders

Please be sure to hang your transportation placard on a coat hanger (see picture below) when picking your child up in the car line. We cannot read the placards when they're laying on your dashboard.
Be sure to take the coat hanger down once your child is in the car--this is how we know your child is in the car and you're ready to exit campus.
Students will not be released to anyone in the car line or at a bus stop without having a transportation placard. If a parent does not have a transportation placard at the bus stop, the student will be brought back to the school.
If you do not have a transportation placard, you must come to our office and show your photo ID.

Traffic Flow Reminders

Kindergarten parents should only enter campus from the South-bound lane on Chisholm--this means you should only be turning RIGHT onto campus. If a kindergarten parent is coming in from the North-bound lane on Chisholm and turning left onto campus, YOU ARE ENTERING THE WRONG WAY AND BLOCKING 1ST & 2ND GRADE PARENTS. Your route will be much smoother and faster if you enter from the South-bound lane and turn right to pick up your kindergarten student.
Siblings of kindergarten students should be dropped off and picked up in the kindergarten line (even if the kindergarten student is absent).
3rd/4th Grade parents, if you have no other students to pick up in other grades, stay in the left lane and exit campus after getting your 3rd or 4th grader.
No cell phones when driving on campus.
We are having an orange line painted for students to walk on in the morning in the 1st/2nd grade line. Please be sure your child walks on the line to the adult at the crosswalk.
Please be patient at the beginning of the school year. New parents are learning our traffic flow, and other parents have shifted to different traffic lines--it takes a little time for everyone to learn their route. Offensive behavior will not be tolerated on our campus.
Please review the maps below.

iReady Diagnostics

Students in grades K-4 will take the iReady Diagnostic 4 times each year. This is a diagnostic assessment that identifies your child's current level of learning in reading and math. After identifying your child's learning needs, an individualized "My Path" is created for each student. Students should work in their Reading and Math "My Path" 45 minutes each week.
