First, I'd like to thank you once again for your support of our efforts to help flood victims! We donated over $3,000 to help with the Hurricane Harvey relief in Houston. The money was used to help an elementary school replace books that were destroyed from the flooding.
Next, I'd like to ask that you please be mindful of your rate of speed (
please slow down
) when dropping off your children in the morning. We understand this can be a chaotic time; however, we are noticing situations where parents are pulling up on the west side and taking off at a rate of speed that is unsafe. Please keep in mind that we have parents with children that are crossing the driveway in order to get in our building.
I'd also like to welcome 5th grade section 5D! Mrs. Trish Hall and Mrs. Emily Beenken are the teachers for this new section. Since the end of school we have had close to 60 new students or students who moved away and now are back in our building. A large number of students have been 5th grade students so we ended up creating a new section to help alleviate space issues down in those rooms.
REMINDER: It's Picture Day tomorrow (October 10) and there is no school on Friday, October 13.
Thank you for your continued support of your child’s education at Forest City Elementary School and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Brad Jones
Principal
