In order to keep our students safe at all times throughout the day, including at the start and ending times of school, we ask for your assistance:

• Students are not to be on campus prior to 8:00 AM or after the final dismissal bell at 2:55 PM (2:00 PM on Tuesdays).

• There is NO drop-off or pick up of students in the school’s front parking lot.

• At the back school parking lot, please DO NOT park, double park, or vacate your vehicle along the painted “Loading Zone Only” curb.

Please help set a good example for our students by always following these safety procedures!

We are lucky to have such a wonderful, dedicated support staff at our school. Our instructional assistants are vital to our programs and we really feel the impact when they need to be out to attend trainings or take a sick day. We need dependable substitutes who can step into their roll, sometimes on short notice.

If you, or someone you know, would like to be a regular (or semi-regular) paid substitute for classified staff members, please let us know!!

Dear Forestville Families,

Have you ever wondered what SEL is, or wanted to know more about it? Social and emotional learning (SEL) is essential to human development and therefore has become an integral part of education. It is the process by which we apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve goals, experience empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. Social and emotional lessons explicitly teach students how to take care of themselves and others, and help us all create a safe, healthy school community.

An example of an SEL lesson might include teaching students how to recognize what's going on in their bodies and brains as emotions come on, and practicing grounding tools to help manage those feelings in a more thoughtful, productive way. Please feel free to watch the clip below with your family on what's happening in the brain when we "flip our lid".

I'm really looking forward to growing and learning together throughout this year and seeing all we will cultivate and accomplish as a community.

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

Warmly,

Ms. Rivera
