Fall Student Climate Survey
This past week, I've spent time in each of the 1st-5th grade classrooms defining conflict, sharing strategies for dealing with conflict and how we can take care of ourselves and one another within our Forest Hills learning community.
The next week ((September 27-October 3), all students in 1st - 5th grades will take our Fall Climate Survey; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders will take the survey at home with your guidance, and 4th-5th graders will take it at school. The survey helps us gauge and measure what matters most to us -- our students' wellbeing and thoughts/feelings about school. Parents of 1st-3rd graders, please watch for more information regarding the survey on Monday, September 27.
Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR)--4th and 5th Grade Only
Students will be taking the assessment from the previous year--4th graders will take the 3rd grade test, with 5th graders taking the 4th grade test.
There is no preparation needed for testing, other than the usual good night's sleep, a healthy breakfast and a fully charged Chromebook!

Also, as a reminder, everyone should remain in their vehicles on Central and Fair Elms. If you'd like to walk or meet your child at the door, please park on 51st or north or south of the building.
