Mission Statement
Thank You
Dear FORES Families,
It's been an amazing year! Thank you all for your continued support throughout the year. I have enjoyed every minute, grown as an educator, and shared tears of happiness and sadness today as students begin summer break. I wish you all a memorable summer. Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy every moment with your children. Our teachers and staff will be doing the same as they recharge and get excited about seeing everyone in August!
With love and gratitude,
Jessica Shults, Principal

Balfour Yearbook Delay
Our yearbook vendor, Balfour, notified us that due to unforeseen circumstances, the delivery of our 2023-24 yearbooks will be delayed until after the school year ends.
Balfour apologizes and accepts full responsibility for the delay.
We are committed to ensuring every student who ordered a yearbook receives one. Once we have additional information from Balfour of when we will receive our yearbooks we will notify you of pick up options.
We appreciate your patience as Balfour works to adjust their delivery schedule.
