Falcon Fest Sponsorships!
On May 26, students will celebrate academic success with a fun filled day of activities supported by the Forest Grove PTA. Parents and teachers are already hard at work making plans for another fabulous bash. We are seeking sponsors to help bring fun, age appropriate activities to our school. Many of these activities are very expensive, and this is why we are reaching out to local businesses and/or families who would be interested in a tax deductible sponsorship. Our Tax ID number is 94-6171945. Please consider being a sponsor and help us make this the best event ever!
Visit: http://www.forestgrovepta.com/falcon-fest to sponsor the event!

Student Attendance Policy
Our School Handbook has lots of good information about school rules and attendance policies.
"Pacific Grove Unified School District adheres to a strict attendance policy. Parents/guardians of children aged six to 18 are obligated to
send their children to school unless otherwise provided by law. The Board shall abide by all state attendance laws and may use appropriate legal means to correct the problems of excessive absence or truancy.” A 24-hour voice mail system is available for calls at 6
46-6559 ext. 222. All absences must be cleared by a telephone call or note from the parent/guardian within 72 hours of the absence. It is important to advise the office as well as your child’s teacher." To read more visit our website at
