School News

We have truly amazing students at Forest Hill. Mayah Cato, Aneri Shah, Hewan Tafari and Mitra Karre made beautiful bracelets and sold them to help raise money for our school. These future entrepreneurs collected $110 dollars to support Forest Hill. They are donating their earnings to support our PTA and our Student Council. Thank you for your creativity, generosity and thoughtfulness. We are very proud of you!

Each class will be responsible for staffing a game booth or other area during the Country Faire.  Please sign up with your child’s classroom via SignUpGenius to select your time slot.  The classroom links can also be found at www.ForestHillPTA.com.

The success of the Country Faire cannot happen without volunteers!

The CELDT test is a test given at the beginning of every year to all English Language Learners to determine their English levels in the following categories: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  This testing will take place in the month of October. The district will mail out the results of the test the end of February.

District Reorganization Update

Administrators for Campbell Middle School provided a status report to the Board in relation to their work at the school since June.

During the summer, they oversaw:

1. Facility clean up and minor campus improvements, including tree replacement, outside seating for students, and removal of lockers that were inadequate for campus needs.
2. Hiring faculty, creating team-building opportunities for the school employees, re-initiating the Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) system, and establishing the new Instructional Leadership Team (ILT).
3. Reviewing and adjusting systems, such as creating a common lunch period, a singly daily bell schedule, and increasing instructional minutes.
4. Building the Transformation Team—which will include students, staff, neighbors, administrators and other community stakeholders—to meet and develop a plan for the school’s transition from middle school to a grade TK-8 school.

Strategic Plan Update

Superintendent Eric Andrew reported that work on the five objectives aimed at achieving the district’s Strategic Goals is going well. 

He noted that work on the goals has progressed well with many of the objectives met. He added that some of the deadlines needed to be extended to October and November, due to changes in administration staff and union leadership and to allow the Strategic Planning Committee to consider revising the “Schools’ of Choice” goal’s wording.
