As we enter the heart of the academic school year here at the Forked River School this is the time of the year where we often see tremendous academic growth. We would like to thank our parents and guardians for all of their help with reinforcing your child(ren)’s learning at home with homework and project assignments. In addition, the more students are read to and have the opportunity to read quality children's literature and informational articles at their independent reading level, the more academically accomplished they will become. In the area of mathematics the more they can practice their grade level math facts the more confident they will be in mastering their number sense and overall understanding of mathematics concepts. Thank you all for being a great team with our staff of educational professionals as we help our students reach their full potential!
