Thank you for helping our students arrive on time! Tardies were significantly lower today. Remember, K–4 students must have a parent sign them in when arriving late.
Exciting News! Forest Heights was recognized for increasing our letter grade by 49 points! We maintained our B and outscored all LRSD middle schools. We are only 15 points away from an A, our goal for this year!
Thank you for your continued support!
Reminder: Parent-teacher conferences are Monday, 12:00–6:00 p.m. No school for students!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Kirkpatrick
We would love for all parents and guardians of our 8th-grade students to join us tonight, September 17th, at 5:30 PM in the FHSA Cafeteria. This evening is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our school community, discover what your child will be learning this year, and stay informed on key grade-level updates, grading systems, and available family resources. We encourage you to bring any questions you may have for our parent Q&A session—we are excited to partner with you and look forward to seeing you there!

This is Principal Kirkpatrick. Our school is averaging over 50 student tardies each day, resulting in students missing valuable instructional time. Please help us ensure your child is in their classroom by 7:40 a.m. each morning, ready to learn.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership!.
