FAE Parent Update - April 2023
What Parents Need to Know Vol 2.5 Ed. 10
Hi Forest Acres Elementary families,
You did it AGAIN! Boosterthon was a success and we appreciate your hard work. We have exceeded our goal for the second year in a row.
You and your child(ren) DESERVE a restful Spring Break! I trust that you are making plans to make some lasting memories. We plan to finish the year as we want to begin 2023-2024-STRONG!
District and State testing season is among us... We ask in advance for parental support with daily attendance and to reduce tardies. Our little ones are more relaxed and confident when they are settled in class before instruction begins. On standardized tests, students perform best when they are in their normal testing environment with classmates and homeroom teachers. Help us decrease testing anxiety by getting them fed and arrive at school on time. We appreciate your unyielding support in providing the best for our children! MAP Test, SC Ready, and SC PASS dates are included in this newsletter. Please adhere to the dates below when scheduling appointments and early dismissals.
Just as a reminder, if you have a child who will be 5 yrs. old on or before September 1st, registration is open and we would love to be able to serve your child next school year. Details about PreK and K5 registration can be found here: SDPC Registration FAQs.
Thanks in advance for your support!
