Good Morning, Parents and Guardians,
As we near the end of the first nine weeks, we want to thank you for a wonderful start to the school year. We hope you have noticed your students are becoming more comfortable and confident in the school setting.
Most students are now walking to class independently—what a great milestone! We understand that some children still prefer to be walked to the classroom door, and that a few parents find it difficult to leave once their child is inside. This is completely natural.
To help every child continue building independence and confidence, we encourage you to begin having your student walk to class unassisted. Our morning duty teachers are stationed throughout the building and will ensure each child arrives safely to their classroom.
Thank you for partnering with us as we support your child’s growth. We are proud of the progress we are already seeing and look forward to a fantastic rest of the year together!

☀️🍋 Sunshine, STEM & a Little Creativity! 🏖️
Our students have been learning all about Sunlight and Weather—including the Sun’s warming effect on Earth! 🌎☀️
To put their learning into action, students chose between a lemonade stand 🍋 or a beach 🏖️ and designed a shelter to help protect people from the Sun’s heat.
Learning, building, designing, and having fun—all while thinking like little engineers! 💡🛠️
Way to shine, Eagles! 🦅💚
This Wednesday’s FHSA vs. Pinnacle View volleyball game will take place at FHSA instead of PVMS.
Come out Wednesday night at 5:30 and cheer our girls on!
📣 Make plans to join LRSD for the FREE High School Recruitment Fair & 52nd Annual College Night tomorrow night, Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 6–8 p.m. at Hall High School Cirks Arena! Explore high school programs, meet college reps, and discover career and military options. These events are open to ALL students, regardless of school district. We hope to see you there!
Good morning,
I just want to keep everyone informed and provide a heads-up regarding potential delays with school-to-home transportation this afternoon due to athletics.
Some buses may arrive at their assigned schools later than normal. We anticipate that all affected buses will arrive at the schools no later than 4:30 PM to begin their school-to-home routes.
I wanted to communicate this in advance, so everyone is aware of the potential delay. I will provide real-time updates if anything changes or if we experience any additional delays.
Thanks,
First Student

FHSA is so grateful for our amazing car duty volunteers! 🙌
Thank you for showing up early, directing traffic with patience and smiles, and keeping our mornings running smoothly. Your dedication makes a real difference for our students and families every single day.
We couldn’t do it without you!
🍋🏖️ Building Big Dreams in Kindergarten! 🏖️🍋
Our FHSA Kindergarteners just kicked off their very first building project… and the creativity is already off the charts!
Some of our little architects decided a lemonade stand is the perfect way to beat the heat (and serve up smiles).
Others are hard at work designing a shady beach shelter so everyone can stay cool under the sun.
We’re so proud of these tiny builders and can’t wait to see their finished masterpieces.
Stay tuned for more construction updates… lemonade and beach vibes incoming! ☀️🥤🏖️
FHSA will host a flu clinic on October 8, 2026, in the gymnasium from 9:00 a.m.- 11:00 am. Flu packets were sent home today with students. All flu forms will need to be returned to the school nurse by October 2nd, 2026. Please email Nurse Tammy.Givens@lrsd.org if you have any questions.

Also a big shout out for our 8th grade girls who remain undefeated, and our 7th grade team that’s only lost one match this season!
Awesome job, girls — proud of the fight and teamwork across the board! Keep shining! 🌟

Good afternoon Forest Heights Family,
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

🚀 Growth That Matters!
Forest Heights STEM Academy jumped +49 points while remaining a B; our highest point total in the last three years! 📈
The grade may be the same, but the growth tells the story. Our Eagles are soaring higher than ever! 🦅💚💛

Good morning, Forest Heights Family,
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!.
