Principal Weekly Update to Families
September 19, 2025
Forest Park Community
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Open House! For those who could not join us,
please take a moment to view my opening presentation (click here), and feel free to reach out
with any questions.
Our International Dot Day Celebration was a wonderful success. The entire school gathered in
the All Purpose Room for a special assembly, where we sang The Dot Song by Emily Dale and
Peter Reynolds and unveiled our new mural. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Hall (Music) and Ms.
O’Donnell (Art) for leading this inspiring event.
Please also take a few minutes to review the updated flyers and photos from this week’s
activities and celebrations.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support!
With gratitude,
Joseph S. Rotz
Principal
