Christmas Blessings

Forest Family Night Hike

This invitation will be going out to parents in the Forest blog when we return to school in January. Consider yourself invited! ....but if it feels like "one more thing" you have every right to enjoy a peaceful night at home as well. You give SO much of your heart and skill during the day! 

Part of the joy of community is building relationships and enjoying adventures together! You are invited to meet new friends and enjoy community in our first annual Forest Family Night Hike! Bring your flashlights, headlamps and winter gear! The Outdoor Discovery Center will host us for lots of family fun in the dark! Mark your calendars and see you there!

Staff Meeting

Our next staff meeting will be Tuesday, January 10 at 11:30! This one will be led by Doug and Rachel. 

Discovery Night

Forest School Discovery Night will be January 18 at 6:00. K-2 teachers, we may be requesting your help for that hour or part of it. I'll keep you posted as soon as I learn more details! I can hardly believe we're approaching another enrollment season! 

NWEA/MAP & Delta

1/9-1/20 will be our testing window for the winter assessment. 

End of Quarter 2!

Quarter 2 comes to a screeching halt on 1/13. Our report cards go live on 1/20. Because there are no parent/teacher conferences scheduled with this report card release, we ask teachers to comment on the progress students are making and helpful tips for support at home. 

MLK Jr. Day

We have no school on 1/16 to commemorate MLK Jr's work which has been entrusted to our generation to continue! There are many events in our community that help us to reflect and grow as a community. I am happy to help you think through how to inform and inspire your children to serve ALL people as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our world during the week following this important day. 

Mid-year Data Meetings

...will be held the week of 1/30. Please update the data sheets with your students' progress in reading using a running record for each child below benchmark (and certainly more children if you're able).
