Here at Forestville Elementary, we want to send a big thank you and shout out to our wonderful PTA for all of the special treats and activities over this past Teacher Appreciation Week!

We appreciate all the time, energy, planning and resources that went into making us feel extra special this week! We appreciate you as well! 


ChangeinTransportation

Change in Transportation?

If you would like to report a change in your child's method of transportation for the day please use our online "Change in Transportation" form. This type of reporting streamlines the process. Go to the Forestville website, scroll down, and click on the orange box labeled "change in transportation form."  You can also find the form here. As a reminder there are still no guest riders on busses for this school year. 


Class Placement Parent Input (all grades)

If your child is returning to Forestville next school year, we offer you the opportunity to share any comments you would like regarding class placements. If you know that your family will not be joining us for the 2022-23 school year, please reach out to Ms. Tran at httran2@fcps.edu or 703-404-6000 to let us know.  

Our staff will be working on tentative class groupings this spring, with classroom assignments finalized in mid-August.  As we make these placements, we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships. Every class will have a blend of children with diverse needs, personalities, and learning interests. Due to the many factors we must consider in creating classroom placements, including the staffing of our teachers, requests for a specific teacher cannot be honored.

If you have information that you believe is pertinent to your child’s placement for next year, please complete this optional form by Friday, May 13th for it to be taken into consideration. There is no need to complete the form if you do not have any information you would like us to consider. Due to the tight timeline before school is out, late submissions cannot be considered. Thank you!
