Family Thanksgiving Luncheon: Wednesday
FCPS has brought back a special pre-COVID tradition... the family Thanksgiving Luncheon! All schools in FCPS will be hosting this luncheon on Wednesday, November 15. Families are invited to attend.
To accommodate space for family members, class lunch times have been adjusted slightly. Click here to see your child's lunch time that day.
Lunch is free for all Forestdale students. Family members must purchase a ticket for $4.75. Families may pay by adding money to their student's account via MySchoolBucks or purchase a ticket on site the day of the luncheon (cash only).
So that our cafeteria staff may order the right amount of food, we encourage families to RSVP in advance via this link or using the QR code on the flyer below. Thank you!
We look fellowship and community building at our Thanksgiving Luncheon!

The Forestdale PTA invites you to join them on Thursday November 16th and let Hangry Burger cook dinner for your family! From 4:00 - 8:00 p.m., Hangry Burger will generously donate 15% of sales to your Forestdale PTA. Dine in or take it home to go.

 Federal Impact Aid Surveys Due Thursday
On Monday, October 16, the Federal Impact Aid Survey was released electronically to all families through their SIS ParentVUE account. Paper copies went home to those who had not completed the survey online.
A completed survey is required for each school-age child in every household by Thursday, November 16.
Survey results help fund our schools. If have not yet completed the survey and need another paper copy, please contact Ms. Erika Delgado, office assistant, at eydelgado@fcps.edu or contact your child's teacher. Thank you for your support in ensuring Forestdale has a 100% completion rate from our families.
