Seeking Your Input on Welcoming New Families to Forest Hills
The Forest Hills School Advisory Committee is bringing in the New Year by seeking your input on an innovative initiative that helps us welcome new families to our FHES community. Our friends at IdeaScale generously offered their crowdsourcing platform to help us generate and collaborate on ideas that support this effort.
Our goal is to provide new students and their families with all the information and resources they need in a timely, relevant, inclusive, and delightful manner. The site will remain open for collaboration through April 30th, 2020, where the data will be reviewed for actionable opportunities. If you would like to contribute in this initiative, we invite you to participate here:
https://forest-hills.ideascale.com/a/register
By clicking the link above or the buttom below, you'll have an opportunity to submit ideas you feel would be helpful to equip and welcome a new family to the FHES community. You will also have an opportunity to review other submissions and build on each other's ideas to foster the collective wisdom of the community!

Elementary Boundary Review Underway
The Boundary Review Committee has begun its work. This superintendent committee is comprised of principals and parents from each elementary school as well as parents of students attending each middle and high school. They will be meeting through mid-March to develop a recommendation on how to redraw elementary school boundaries starting in the 2020-2021 school year.
You may access all of the information shared and discussed at these meetings through the boundary landing page on losdschools.org. Additionally, the boundary committee will be hosting open houses on Feb. 5 at Lakeridge High School and Mar. 4 at Lake Oswego High School, 6-8 p.m. to share current thinking and gather your feedback.
At any time in the process, to provide comments regarding elementary boundaries, please email: info@loswego.k12.or.us.
