We made it! The end of the school year has arrived and summer is upon us! With the exception of a few very hot days, it seems we are getting more rain than sunshine. Hopefully mother nature will find some balance and we will all be able to enjoy some warm weather in the coming weeks.
We would like to thank Miss deHoog for her short time with us. She will not be returning to Forestburg School in the fall. We would also like to thank Rkaelyn Volk for her dedication to working with our students. We would like to also thank Mrs. Freadrich for her time and dedication to our students. As well, I’m sure you are aware that I will not be back in Forestburg in the fall. I have enjoyed my time in Forestburg and will miss the many smiling faces each day.
To update everyone on our current staffing, we are pleased to welcome Miss Leah Peters to the staff of Forestburg School for the start of the 2026/2027 school year. She will teach the first 2 periods in jr./sr. high at Forestburg School each day and will travel to Daysland for the rest of her day. As well, we are still in the process of filling our most recent allocation of teacher fte (0.3 fte). Once filled, this teacher will teach ELA 3 each day in the mornings. We were allocated an additional allotment of teacher fte (0.3) in early June to reduce class sizes in English Language Arts and Math in Division 1 (Gr. 1-3). After all the adjustments, Forestburg School will operate next year with 0.4 fte less than in 2025/2026. This has meant some reductions in our jr./sr. high end and requires that we combine some of our classes. While this is less than ideal, we are required to work with the amounts that are allocated to us by BRSD. As was previously announced, BRSD was required to cut $3.14 million dollars to balance their budget.

Thank you, as parents, for all you do to support your child’s learning. Thank you for your time, cooperation and assistance throughout the school year as active members of the learning team.
I would like to wish everyone the very best as we move into summer break. We have had a busy year and accomplished many great things. I hope everyone can find some time to relax and do some of the things they enjoy with family and friends. I am sure this time will pass quickly enough and before long, thoughts of school will be back on everyone’s mind. Have a great summer!
Mr. Anhorn
Principal, Forestburg School
