The Forest Hills School Advisory Committee is bringing in the New Year by seeking your input on an innovative initiative that helps us welcome new families to our FHES community. Our friends at IdeaScale generously offered their crowdsourcing platform to help us generate and collaborate on ideas that support this effort.

Our goal is to provide new students and their families with all the information and resources they need in a timely, relevant, inclusive, and delightful manner. The site will remain open for collaboration through April 30th, 2020, where the data will be reviewed for actionable opportunities. If you would like to contribute in this initiative, we invite you to participate here:

https://forest-hills.ideascale.com/a/register

By clicking the link above or the buttom below, you'll have an opportunity to submit ideas you feel would be helpful to equip and welcome a new family to the FHES community. You will also have an opportunity to review other submissions and build on each other's ideas to foster the collective wisdom of the community!

Winter is here. Please be sure to review the LOSD emergency communications page of our district website for information, including when and how you will be notified if we have a school closure or delay. If schools are closed, the district is closed, which means classes, as well as athletic events, enrichment activities and meetings are canceled, too.

Congratulations to all of our Geography Bee participants! Back row: Brooklyn Lindsey, Mackenzie Durnin, Rowan Cook (2nd Place), and Alex Chen. Front row: Sydney Perlewitz, Brandon Perlewitz (1st Place), and Carter Ruback. Not pictured: Piper Barney (3rd Place, tie) and Caleb Dempsey (3rd Place, tie).

Community School has a number of upcoming enrichment and sports activities in their upcoming Winter Program: Community School Winter Programs.

Culture Travel Week will be held in the week of January 27. This year the library will be transformed into SWEDEN. Each class will get to explore the culture and natural beauty of Sweden through food, traditional clothing, handicrafts, informational videos, music and more!

The Forest Hills Science Night is coming up! The event will be held Wednesday, February 26th from 5:30-7:30pm. This year we are introducing a fun new format where science projects will be displayed in the gym, iLAB, and library. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn more about a math, science, or technology topic of interest to them. If your student would like to participate by doing a science project please register online here until Fri, Jan 17.
