 Weekly Happenings

Excited to see everyone last week!  Happy to join in the excitement of our kick-off activities and getting back into the swing of it with open houses.  Let's make this a great first week of school for our students!

I was VERY excited to see our FOREST students spending some time after the game last Friday picking up garbage in the student section.  Amazing tradition started last year that has made it to the new school year!

Pride Tickets

All staff are asked to send three Pride tickets to students per week.  Use the rotation calendar to help provide an equal rotation. Teachers are welcome to send more than directed on the calendar. This action step should increase the amount of positive feedback parents and students hear about all the good they are doing.

Announcements/Week Ahead

Sophomore Club/Activity Presentations: As part of the sophomore day on Tuesday, August 29th, there will be club/activity presentations in the senior high fieldhouse between 8:30-10 a.m.  The sophomores will be divided into two groups each going to the field house for 30 minutes. It is asked that 2 upper classmen per club/activity be present.  This is a great time for sophomores to learn about and possibly join your group.  Please complete the google sheet linked below to sign up.  Each group will be given a table with a large sign of your club/activities name on it.  If there are special instructions needed, add those on this form also.

 Please complete by the end of the day August 22nd.  Thank you
