A Message from Mrs. Hytjan
Dear Families…
   As members of our school community join family and friends to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I am reminded how grateful I am to be the leader of such a wonderful school. I am proud that our school is a place that values inclusiveness, respect and collaboration. We recognize the value of EACH member of our school community and we honor the unique and authentic cultures and backgrounds of our members. Forest Hills is a place of love, respect, compassion, and peacefulness. I am grateful to you for trusting us to serve your most precious asset – your child. Happy Thanksgiving!

In School. On Time. Every Day!
In order for your child to have the best possible educational experience, it is important for him/her to be at school every day. Attendance does matter!

Winter Weather is Now Here
As the weather turns colder, it is important that you send appropriate outerwear each day with your student. Our policy is that students do go outside as long as the air temperature and/or wind chill are above -10 degrees. 
Makerspace Update
Our Makerspace is beginning to take shape! This week we have our 5th grade students using the space to begin their Inventions unit. Students will use materials to create a unique toy.

We continue to collect materials for the Makerspace and we appreciate all donations!

What Does It Mean to Be a Mathematician?

Dr. Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford University, has done groundbreaking research which reveals that all children have the power to engage in mathematics at the highest level. As educators and parents we need to develop a growth mindset that will help us see how all of our children have the potential to become powerful mathematicians. You may note your child's mindset change about mathematics as our district continues to implement a new math instructional resource.
