Our annual student Halloween parade is on Friday morning! Forest Hill families are welcome to join us.

Halloween is always a fun and exciting time at an elementary school campus. Please help us to make sure it is fun for everyone by following the expectations below.

  • Students should come to school dressed in their costumes.

  • Students must change out of their costumes at morning recess. Please make sure your child can change independently (TK parents may stay to help their children). The easiest way to do this is to wear regular clothes under your costume. Pack a bag to hold the costume once it is off so it doesn't get misplaced or damaged.

  • Masks may be worn ONLY during the parade and ONLY if it doesn't limit the child’s ability to walk safely.

  • No weapons of any kind.

  • No gory, bloody costumes.

  • Adults may be in costume, but may not wear masks or face paint.

Family members are invited to join us for our Halloween parade. The parade begins at 8:30 am. Please follow drop off expectations as you would on any other day. We will then reopen the gates at 8:30 am. Adults will stand behind the students during the parade. Please model the behavior we expect to see in our students: no pushing, do not step into spaces that are vacated when students get up to join the parade, do not hold up the parade for pictures. Pictures before arriving to school or after the parade are best.

If your student will not participate in the parade, please let your child's teacher know as soon as possible. An alternative activitiy will be provided for him/her.

Although the front office and library have switched places, a new MU is under construction, and a few teachers have retired, Class of 2025 seniors returned to Forest Hill to participate in our monthly Falcon Fest to celebrate learning -- and graduating!  Seniors from Westmont reminisced about playing four square and swinging on the bars. They greeted teachers who taught them to read and write, to add and subtract!  Seniors walked our royal blue carpet while new Falcons applauded.  Each senior left with a FH pennant.  Thanks for coming back home to celebrate your high school graduation, seniors!
