PPS Rightsizing: Opportunities to Learn and Participate
You may be hearing conversations about PPS rightsizing and what it could mean for schools. We know families have questions and that uncertainty about our schools can feel deeply personal. No decisions have been made.
I will share a brief rightsizing update with families at the beginning of each week so you have timely, accurate information and know about upcoming opportunities to participate.

PPS Rightsizing: Ways to Participate This Week
PPS is gathering community input as it considers how to provide strong, sustainable school experiences across the district. No decisions have been made. I will share a brief update at the beginning of each week so Forest Park families receive timely, accurate information and opportunities to participate.
Represent Forest Park at the Village Table
Forest Park has one opening for a family representative at the Superintendent’s Village Table. Representatives meet with families from schools across PPS to learn about the rightsizing process, review information, ask questions, and bring their school community’s experiences and perspectives into the conversation.
We are looking for someone who can attend the meetings and help keep Forest Park families connected to the process.
Interested in representing Forest Park? Please complete the FPE Family Leadership Interest Form.
