Dear Forest Hills Families
Looking back, it was just over a year ago that Forest Hills became the first school in the state to experience a COVID related closure. On that day I wrote to you, "Tomorrow, we continue to work to ensure your child's safe and joyful return to school." At that time, we had no idea how long the road to reopening would be.
Today, we were joined by our 4th and 5th grade students, completing our return to in-person instruction. We're back!
Thank you to our amazing building maintenance team, front office staff, assistants, food service staff, teachers, and specialists who have worked tirelessly to reopen our school. The lift has been monumental and your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Thank you to our incredible community. Your steadfast support and flexibility is so important. Our return may have taken longer than any of us could have imagined, but we are now safely and joyfully back!
Patrick Shuckerow, Principal
Yearbook Photos Needed
Stronger Together is this years yearbook theme! We are in need of a portrait photo for each FH child. Instructions on how to submit photos are included in this link http://bit.ly/37YitHb. In addition, the Yearbook Team is in need of photos of students doing their favorite hobby, cooking/baking, learning new skills, reading, outdoor activities, zoom school and pets.
5th Grade Request: Please provide 3-5 photos of your child at various ages ranging from infant up to current age. They can be portraits, candids, photos of your kiddo doing something they love, whatever! Please just make the photo large enough (at least 1MB file size) that your child's face can be easily seen and will print well in the yearbook. Photos can be uploaded to a google folder here:
5th Grade Yearbook Student Photos
Or, if for some reason you cannot put them into the Google Drive folder, they can be sent to Courtney Lindsey at cstewart143@hotmail.com or to me at leslie.kilian@gmail.com.
Please be sure you label them with your child's name and teacher (ex: BLindsey1-HamacheckAM, BLindsey2-HamacheckAM, etc. TKilian1-SchoenPM.jpeg, etc). The deadline for submission is March 19, 2021. We know this is a very short turn around but it's what we need in order to get the yearbook done in time for the end of this very weird school year. If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out via email or phone (see below):
