PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES
MAY 8, 2026
Forest Park Community,
Last week, we held our monthly Forest Park Town Hall Assembly as part of our PBIS efforts to
promote a positive and safe school environment. Students were recognized with EAGLE Awards
for Giving Respect, and this month’s focus is on Lending a Hand. Please click here to view the
poster used during classroom discussions.
We would also like to thank our PTO for a memorable Staff Appreciation Week. Throughout the
week, something special was planned each day, and we know this took a great deal of planning
and attention to detail. We greatly appreciate your time and generosity.
A friendly reminder that our fifth graders will be participating in the Rhode Island Next
Generation Science Assessment (NGSA) on Wednesday, May 13th, and Thursday, May 14th.
Please make sure your fifth grader comes to school with a fully charged device each day.
Finally, and most importantly, I would like to wish all mothers and caregivers a very Happy
Mother’s Day!
