PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES

MARCH 30, 2026

PRINCIPAL WEEKLYUPDATE TO FAMILIESMARCH 30, 2026

Forest Park Community,


Students in grades 3-5 will participate in state testing next week. Please take a moment to review

the detailed information in the family letter below. If your child in grades 4 or 5 brings a

Chromebook home, kindly remind them to charge it each night.


Our SurveyWorks Family Survey participation continues to grow—we now have 69 responses!

With one week remaining, we are aiming to reach our goal of 100 responses so students can earn

an incentive reward (an extra afternoon recess with a special snack). The survey window closes

on Friday, April 10. If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes to share your feedback.


To better understand the scoring process, please review the “SurveyWorks Scoring Made

Simple” graphic below. A direct link to the survey is included in both the graphic and the family

letter for your convenience.


Finally, thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make Bingo Night such a success - it truly

takes a village! Our next PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:30 PM in the

school library. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Please take some time to review the

updated announcements/flyers from our PTO below.


Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support.


Joseph S. Rotz

Principal
