PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES

Good morning,

This afternoon we will hold our Forest Park Town Hall Assembly! Each month, this special

event recognizes students who model our school expectations and demonstrate hard work in the

classroom. We encourage you to ask your child about today’s assembly and what they enjoyed

most about the celebration.

We are also excited to begin introducing the Vision of the Learner (VOL) skills in our

classrooms. Students will start identifying these skills and connecting them with specific learning

tasks. Please click here for more information about our districtwide VOL work, and take a

moment to enjoy the photos below of our Kindergarteners practicing Communicate to Express.

Thank you to all who volunteered their time or attended our Annual Book Fair and Cocoa Social.

Our community truly values these opportunities for students and families to come together. A

friendly reminder that our next PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the

school library. All are welcome and encouraged to attend—your participation and feedback help

strengthen our school community.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Please don’t hesitate to reach

out with any questions or suggestions.

Joseph S. Rotz, Principal
