A Note from the Principal

Forest Hills Families,


Spring is right around the corner! With that comes many exciting events on our campus. You will see dates listed at the bottom of this newsletter you'll want to go ahead and mark on your calendar. From field trips to relay days, you won't want to miss these fun times!


I would like to thank our amazing PTO for putting on our first ever Glow Dances! The Girl Glow Dance and Boy Glow Dance were each a huge success, and something we hope to do annually. Thank you PTO!


Please join us in the library Monday, March 6th at 3:00 for our Family Engagement Meeting. Myself, along with our Reading and Math Specialists, will be showing parents important ways you can help your child at home. We will also give you tips for helping your child conquer "spring fever" and seek your input for the upcoming school year. We will have door prizes to local restaurants, so you won't want to miss this informational meeting!


I'd like to remind families that smart watches are equivalent to cell phones and neither are allowed at school. Please read the ACAP testing information below to ensure you're aware of the FCS Code of Conduct in regards to personal electronic devices.


If I can ever be of assistance to you, please contact me or stop by the office. It is my pleasure serving your child and you!


Sincerely,


Mrs. Fowler, Principal

Update on Book Character Parade:

Due to the strong chance of significant rainfall, we have made the decision to move the parade indoors. Due to the lack of space in hallways, guests will not be allowed for the event. We apologize for the inconvenience, but to rectify this situation, we will provide video footage and pictures from the parade. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
If you have an incoming Kindergartener, please use the link below to sign up for a Kindergarten Screening. The purpose of a Kindergarten Screening is to give us an idea of where your child is, academically and developmentally, so that we can meet them where they are in their learning upon beginning Kindergarten!
