Principal Notes

Greetings Forest Families!

Thank-you to all the families that joined us for conferences these past 2 weeks.  It was great to see so many families join us to hear the great progress students are making!

Please continue to have your child work on Lexia each evening at home.  Students can only access it on their school device.  This is their homework each evening.  

We have completed our school wide tie-dye project!  Thank-you families for sending in a white t-shirt.  Students will wear their shirts for the 1st time on Tuesday for our Wellness Spirit Week.  See the details for each day below.  Tie-dye shirts will stay at school for future events, students will bring them home the last day of school in June. 

Next week is the last week of school before spring break and we have some fun things planned:

1. Wellness Spirit Week: 

Monday:  Jersey or Hat Day

Tuesday: Tie-Dye or Rainbow

Wednesday: Comfy or Green

Thursday:  Future Self or Purple,

Friday:  Heart or Red Day (see below for details)

 

2.  3nd Annual Rock Paper Scissors Tournament:

Classroom brackets start on Monday with the school wide bracket starting on Wednesday.  Maybe practice this weekend by doing a family bracket at home and see who is the Rock Paper Scissor champion in your family!

 

3.  Penny Wars - PTO Fundraiser:

It's time to find that extra change laying around and bring it in for the PTO fundraiser. Let's see which grade level wins! See details in section below.

Yearbooks:  Deadline for ordering your Forest yearbook is April 14th - Please reserve your copy HERE!

Thanks for your support and partnership Forest families and let's make it a great last week of 3rd Quarter!!
