Forest Grove Family Falcon Update
February 9, 2023
Message from the Principal
Dear Forest Grove Falcon Families,
I am home ill. We are fortunate to have experienced principals who have stepped in to support Forest Grove in my absence. We wish you all a great and productive Presidents' Holiday Break. We want to encourage you to rest, be with family and loved ones, but also be active in the community volunteering.
If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions or commendations, you can use this new email address created for FG parents: FGdeer@pgusd.org. When school is in session, the emails on this account will be checked daily. This is just one option. You can always drop by, call the office or email me directly, but we are looking to provide you with other options.
1, 2, 3...Go Falcons!
Yours in education,
Irene Preciado., PhD
Principal

Office Reminders
Please have your child to school on time. Gates open at 8:30AM. The final bell rings and instruction begins at 8:45AM. When a student is tardy, it is disruptive to the office and classroom. In addition, students miss important information and announcements from their teacher first thing in the morning.
Ways to report a student absent :
a) ParentVUE app
b) 24 Hour Absence Line (831) 646-6559
c) Email fgattendance@pgusd.org
Our gates open at 8:30 a.m.
Instruction begins at 8:45 a.m.
Please make sure to relay afterschool plans with your child PRIOR to the school day to prevent unnecessary classroom disruptions.
Volunteer and Chaperone Clearance
If you plan on being a VOLUNTEER on campus or a CHAPERONE for a field trip, please be sure you are fingerprint cleared with our district and submit a copy of your Covid vaccine card to the District Office. To make an appointment at the District Office please call Kimberly Ortiz at 646-6553.
Before coming to campus to volunteer, please check with your child's teacher to schedule a time that works best for them.
Important Yearbook Information
We will be using a new company for creating & ordering yearbooks: TreeRing is a California-based company that plants a tree for every yearbook purchased. You will have the option to buy your yearbook directly through their website as well as upload your own photos to share with the yearbook team, class and your child(ren)’s personalized pages. Each yearbook comes with two personalized pages that are fully customized to your student(s). The pricing is the same as last year, $25 per book. There are optional upgrades such as hard covers and additional personalized pages.
In order to participate with photo sharing and to order your yearbook, you will need to set up your family’s TreeRing account from the link below:
Please note, their website is best supported on the Google Chrome web browser.
