Student Materials Pick-up Plan
June 2nd-June 5th
To help spread out our students/parents/guardians for pick up please come during the time frames listed on the plan based on your last name. We are asking for pick up by last name instead of grade because some families have multiple students at different grade levels. If the designated time for your family does not work, we totally understand! You can come throughout our pick-up window, we would just like everyone to try to come during their time slot to assist with more efficient lines for all students/parents/guardians.
Information Regarding Report Cards and Grading
Over the past nine weeks, Forest Park staff have taken many steps to ensure quality virtual instruction, learning tools, and resources so that students can meet state and local expectations in all subject areas. We have been able to provide teaching and learning opportunities for students to address the regular progressions of the core academics as well as all elective classes. Therefore, you will still receive a typical report card of your son/daughter’s progress towards grade-level standards at the end of the year.
The only exception is teachers will not be reporting out the status of students’ Success Habits and Behaviors, which are usually completed to reflect the entire semester. Since we have had two very different halves to this semester, students’ Success Habits and Behaviors may differ significantly in the two environments. Additionally, some habits and behaviors are no longer visible to teachers in this environment.
