PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES

Forest Park Community,

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Pink Out Day! All donations will be sent to the

Gloria Gemma Foundation here in Rhode Island.

We’re also looking forward to seeing everyone at Trunk Fest tonight! Enjoy tasty treats and

spooky music on the blacktop, along with food, crafts, games, balloon animals, and more inside

the school at Fall Fest. Tickets will be available at the door beginning at 6:00 p.m.

On another note, hard copy student assessment results will be sent home today with students in

grades 1–5. These results help your child’s teacher plan instruction to meet individual learning

needs and evaluate the effectiveness of classroom teaching. If you have any questions, please

don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.

As a friendly reminder, we are still collecting turkey gravy to help our friends at the North

Kingstown Food Pantry organize turkey dinners. We’re almost at our school-wide goal of

collecting 200 items!

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Joseph S. Rotz, Principal
