PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES
FEBRUARY 6, 2026
Forest Park Community,
Please take a moment to review the letter below regarding SurveyWorks, a statewide school
climate survey we invite you to complete. The family survey is an important way for us to gather
feedback, highlight our strengths, and identify areas where we can continue to grow. There is a
live link included in the letter below, and your participation would be greatly appreciated.
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 fourth graders practicing Analyze To Think Critically.
We also had a very successful “Souper Bowl” Can Drive! Many of our students predicted a big
Patriots win, and together we collected over 400 canned goods to be donated to the North
Kingstown Food Pantry. Thank you so much for your generosity and support.
Finally, 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.
As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Joseph S. Rotz
