Volunteers Needed: 6^th Grade Career Day

Forestville’s annual 6^th Grade Career Day will take place on Friday, June 3rd. The tentative time for this event is 2:00-3:30pm. In order to make this event memorable for our 6^th graders, we are looking for volunteers to serve as our Career Day presenters. Presenters will need to prepare a 15-minute presentation that focuses on how the presenter became interested in their career and the responsibilities involved with that career.

 Please email Sophie Biggar (sabiggar@fcps.edu) if you are interested in participating. Thank you!

A note from our Librarian

As the end of the year is rapidly approaching, a gentle reminder that all library books are due no later than Friday, May 27. Each year, Miss Ciullo is required to complete an inventory of the library, which is why books are due before the end of school. Please be sure to check your homes and encourage students to check backpacks and their classrooms for all library materials. If you have concerns about missing books, please email Miss Ciullo at kate.ciullo@fcps.edu . Thank you!

Each year an FCPS committee organizes awards and recognition of community preschool teaching teams, administration, and centers who have provided a welcoming environment to children with disabilities and families at their school. 

This week, Mr. Washington was awarded the award for Exemplary FCPS Administrator for inclusive opportunities for preschoolers! Mr. Washington is dedicated to ensuring that our preschool students have equitable access to resources at Forestville such as participation in specials (art, music, library, PE), and are included in school events! Thank you Mr. Washington, for being an inclusive leader at Forestville.

School Medication Update

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school June 10, 2022.  Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded.  It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian.  Medication cannot be sent home with your student.  

Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services.   A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school.
