🎠Fall Carnival Thank you!
What a fantastic Fall Carnival! We were thrilled to see so many of our families join us on Friday. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect as a community.
📢🥳 A very special shoutout and THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers for their hard work, dedication, and support!
🌟 Blue Start Welcome Week
This year, Forestville Elementary will be honoring our Military Connected students and their families during the week of September 21 to 29. We will host a breakfast for all Military Families and their kids on Thursday, September 26th, 2024, at 8:30 am.
This breakfast is a way to thank our Military Families for their service and connecting new Military Families with current Military Families. Bagels, coffee, and juice will be provided.
Please RSVP to Mrs. Schnaue at saschnaue@fcps.edu. If you have any questions about this event, please reach out to Mrs. Schnaue!

👋🏾Dismissal Reminders:
To minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth dismissal, please avoid pick-ups after 3:30 p.m. whenever possible. If you need to pick up your child after 3:30 p.m., please call the main office to let us know, and your child can use kiss & ride.
Please use the online Change of Transportation Form to notify the school of any changes to your child’s daily transportation. Changes must be submitted by 12:00 PM daily in order to allow adequate time for our office staff to distribute the forms to teachers and students before dismissal each day.
If going home with a friend, both parents must submit a Change of Transportation form. This ensures that both parents are aware of any changes taking place.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure a safe and orderly dismissal for all our students!
