Welcome Back
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!
Dear Forest Hill Families,
Tomorrow marks our first day of school for the 2022-2023 school year. We are SO excited to welcome your children back to school. Our staff have been working tirelessly to prepare for the first day of school. Our office staff continue to place new students in classrooms while helping all parents and staff who come in for assistance. Our teachers & staff have been doing pre-assessments, prepping their classrooms and materials, and doing professional learning in anticipation of the first day. Our district staff have been working hard to oversee the on-going construction to ensure play structures, our school grounds and parking lots are clean and safe for children to return. Our custodial staff have been working hard to clean, set up for events, and help teachers with any needs they have. Our PTA has been supporting the beginning of the school year needs and will hold our Coffee and Kleenex event, which we have not had since pre-COVID. We invite you to join us for coffee in the cafeteria tomorrow after drop off. TK and Kindergarten parents will be invited to join at 8:40am, after a first day activity in their child’s classroom. Please be sure to thank someone from our community when you see them for all they have done!
Friendly reminder that we have limited parking on our campus. We highly encourage you to walk if possible, and if you drive, to please find parking on the street and walk your child to campus. You also have the option to drive through our circle and drop-off your child.
As a reminder, class lists will be sent via Parent Square at 5pm tonight, August 17th. Due to construction and safety reasons, we do ask you to refrain if possible from coming on campus tonight.
For parents who were unable to attend our Welcome Back Orientation, we promised the link to our slides. You can find them here: TK/Kinder/New Parent Orientation Slides. If you have any questions related to COVID be sure to visit our district COVID-10 2022-23 website.
We are allowing parent volunteers on campus this year. If you are interested, please let your child’s teacher know, and they will take the next steps to get you approved as a volunteer.
Lastly, we hope you save the date for two upcoming events. We will have our first Coffee with the Principal on Friday, August 26th from 8:15-9:15am in the cafeteria and our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 1st from 6:00-7:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you around and meeting your children tomorrow.
Warmly,
Ms. Chalfant & Mrs. Armann
