Hello Forest Edge Families and Community!
We’re excited to share that some of our talented 3rd graders represented us in the Science Olympiad this weekend! They had a fantastic time competing alongside students from hundreds of schools across Virginia, and we are so proud of their enthusiasm and hard work.
There’s still time to show your Forest Edge pride by ordering spirit wear—wear your eagle spirit with pride!
Additionally, we invite you to join us next Tuesday at 7 PM for our November PTA meeting. It's a great chance to connect, learn more about our plans, and discover ways you can support our wonderful school community.
We’d also like to remind you that our Thanksgiving Luncheon is on Thursday, November 21. Parents are warmly welcomed! If you plan to join, please remember to pre-order your meal so we can ensure everyone has a delicious holiday experience together.
Thank you for being a part of what makes Forest Edge so special!
Dr. Brittany Rogers, Principal
Mrs. Ashley Fisher, Assistant Principal

Here is an overall review of what to expect.
- Any student wishing to have a retake should bring their original picture package to exchange for the retake image.
- When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can be printed and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
- If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
- A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to "Pull" all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
- When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.
