May 2025

Hello Forest Park Families

At his time of the year we would like to express our thanks to all of the amazing volunteers who have helped us over the course of this school year. Our PTA has continued to support our students and staff in a variety of ways this year and have made it possible for our students to attend on campus and off campus field trips. They are also partners in establishing our new maker space. We always encourage you to take part in PTA events and join their highly involved team.  Your acts of kindness may look small, but their impact on the world is enormous. Thank you for your assistance.

ATTENDANCE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

The 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR STARTS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2025.  All students are expected to report to school on the first day, Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Students who have not attended the first day of school will be dropped at the end of the first day of school. Students who are dropped will not be guaranteed a seat at the school and may have to be overloaded to other schools upon return. The only exceptions will be students who are absent due to illness. If a student is absent the first day due to illness, parents or guardians must notify the school  every day the student is absent.  Seats will not  be held for students on extended vacations or other optional activities, whether or not the school is notified. (AR5113.1). After 10 consecutive (uninterrupted) school days of unexcused absences, a student is dropped from the roster and must re-enroll at the district office. No exceptions will be made.
