Distance Learning Message

It has been wonderful seeing our students and teachers on our secure BBCU distance learning platform this past week. We appreciate your ongoing support, as we all worked to ‘roll out’ our synchronous, face-to-face learning, in addition to our many asynchronous learning resources and opportunities. We have seen a lot of good learning taking place and smiles on your child’s face as they reconnect with their teachers and friends. Thank you again for your patience and support of our teachers and school, it is much appreciated!


Student Registration for 2020-2021

If you have a rising kindergartener or a student who will be new to Forestville in Grades 1-6, we would like to do a preliminary registration now

To start the registration process, please click on the following link, Registration. Ms. Tran, our school registrar, will be in contact with you in regards to what your next steps are to complete registration. If you have any questions or concerns about registration, please email Ms. Tran, at httran@fcps.edu.


Kindergarten Orientation

As you are probably aware, we scheduled our Kindergarten (K) Orientation here at Forestville on the afternoon of March 31st, however, due to covid-19, we had to postpone the orientation. Even though schools are still closed at this time, we will be hosting a virtual K orientation for our incoming K parents on Friday, May 8th, 2020.

The orientation will give you the opportunity to virtually meet our K team and other Forestville staff members, learn about our K program, see what a day in the life of a kindergartener looks like and provide you with a Q&A session to answer any questions you may have. In order to access the virtual orientation, a link will be sent out to you by email for you to join in the session. Please be on the lookout for that email next week.

Here are the details for the orientation:

What: Virtual K Orientation

Where: Online through Blackboard Collaborate Ultra Link

When: Friday, May 8th from 2:00-3:30pm

Once again, we look forward to welcoming our newest members to the Forestville Elementary family and virtually meeting all of you next week. In the meantime, if you have any additional questions about registration, please contact Ms. Tran, our School Information Assistant, who handles our registrations, as she will support you through the process and answer any questions you may have. She can be reached at httran2@fcps.edu.
