PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES

Forest Park Community,

Our Kindergarten through second grade BINGO Night was a great success! Thank you to all

who attended and to those who volunteered their time to make this a fun and memorable

experience for our students. We look forward to hosting another BINGO Night for students in

grades three through five in February.

We continue to introduce and reinforce our Vision of the Learner (VOL) skills across

classrooms. Please click here for more information about our districtwide VOL work, and enjoy

the photos below of our third graders practicing Problem Solve to Innovate.

You will also find our updated school calendar below, which reflects the recent snow day.

Report cards will be distributed next Thursday, February 5. As always, please feel free to reach

out with any questions regarding report cards and/or assessment results (STAR reports).

Finally, during the winter months, students go outside for recess when the temperature -

including wind chill or “feels like” temperature - is 20 degrees or above. Unfortunately, we have

not been able to go outside this week, and we know how important fresh air and movement are

for our students. We are hopeful that next week brings better weather.

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

Joseph S. Rotz

Principal
