Friendships can be one of the best parts of childhood — and one of the most painful. If you’ve watched your child navigate friend drama, social exclusion, or the pressures of group chats, you know how hard it can be to know when to step in and what to say.
Join Cartwheel, our virtual mental health partner, and licensed counselor, author, and Washington Post contributor Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, for a free live webinar:

If interested in volunteering or chaperoning, we need a CORI FORM on file. CORIs are good for 3 years from the date of completion. If you have not done a CORI with Hudson Public Schools, there is a form attached. Please complete and return to me via email or in person. If emailing, please include a picture of the front of your license or other form of identification.
The Forest Ave Family Directory is available HERE. Each classroom has its own tab at the bottom of the sheet. This link will remain in the Forest Falcon every week for you to have access as needed. The directory is published as a way for families to connect outside of school for reasons such as events, birthday invitations, and playdates. Please be reminded that birthday invitations cannot be distributed in school per the district policy. If you need to update or remove information in the directory, please contact the main office and be sure to update your information via the Aspen Portal as well.
