In February, we were informed that Forest Hill had qualified to apply for the prestigious California Distinguished School Award. It is with great pleasure that we report to you that State Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson announced that our application was approved. We will be receiving the California Distinguished School Award for 2018. This is a great accomplishment since it represents the hard work of all of our dedicated staff members, wonderful students, and amazingly supportive community members. Congratulations to all! Representatives will accept the award on May 3rd in Anaheim.

On Wednesday, April 25 and Wednesday, May 9 will be next walking school bus days. We will have 3 walking school bus locations for your student to join depending on where you live. A walking school bus is when an adult leads a group of children on a set route to their school. Each adult will follow all safety procedures and will have a first aid pack with them on the route. Parents are encouraged to walk with their child but it is not required.
- Mrs. Khalid (Principal) will be at the corner of Elam Ave and Harriet Ave at 7:45am (parents can use the church parking lot to drop off their student)
- Miss Jackie (Secretary) will be at the corner of Quito Rd. and McCoy (YMCA Parking Lot) at 7:50 (parents can use the YMCA parking lot to drop off their student)
- Mr. Brandon Reese (Parent) will be at the corner of Silacci and Westmont High School at 7:50
Please feel free to join the closest walking school bus to your home.
We need your help! Mrs. Khalid (Principal) is very concerned that we will not have a functioning PTA for next year. We have many open positions for our Parent & Teacher Association. Without proper support, we will not be able to offer our students extension opportunities.
