Family Night - Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice Family Night is a free event sponsored by the PTO. The event will be held on Friday, Dec 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Forest Hills Elementary Gym. Bring your family and join us for food, fun, and holiday togetherness! There will be arts & crafts, live music, and an opportunity to learn about the different holiday traditions that folks in our community celebrate at this time of year including Hanukkah, Chinese New Year, and Diwali. There will be food from some of the holidays featured this year as well as from Serbia & South Africa, desserts, coffee, and hot chocolate! If you would like to help with this event, or have any questions please contact Linda Scipio del Campo at lscipiodelcampo@gmail.com.
Wreaths and Poinsettias arrive Friday afternoon! Forest Hills families may pick up their orders early (there will also be a limited stock for sale) outside the gym. There will still be a lot party on Saturday as planned from 10am to 12pm.

Notice of Statewide Tests and Opt Out (Repeat)
Every year, Oregon students take assessments prescribed by the State Department of Education. The purpose of these assessments is to provide data that schools can use to ensure each and every child is on track and achieving learning goals. Results are also used to inform course placement and provide focused feedback to students and parents.
State law requires us to inform you that a form is available from the Oregon Department of Education that allows you to opt your child out of the Math and English Language Arts assessments for the 2019-20 school year. Should you wish to opt out your child, fill out the form and submit it to the main office at your child’s school. Please note the submission deadline of January 1, 2020. Meeting this deadline will help your child's school with planning and preparation, and is particularly critical for 11th graders who test earlier than other students.
If you have questions or want more information about state assessments, please contact your child’s principal or teacher(s).
