Forest Heights STEM Academy K-8 -

🏐 Shoutout to our amazing FHSA 4th & 5th grade volleyball team! They’re off to an incredible start with a 5-1 record, and we couldn’t be more proud! Go Eagles! 💛💚

🚀 Big news from Forest Heights STEM Academy! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the STEM Coalition Grant! Out of 61 schools, only 14 were selected, and FHSA is one of them! 💡🔬🧪 This grant will open even more opportunities for our students to explore, innovate, and lead in STEM. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead! 🌟

✨ Today our FHSA faculty meeting was energized by an interactive presentation from Crystal Bridges: The Creative Lens – Advancing Content Connection Through Visual Literacy. Our staff explored innovative ways to bring learning to life through art and visual connections. Crystal Bridges also surprised the entire faculty with adorable blue Crystal Bridges collaborating schools shirts! We love our partnership with Crystal Bridges and the opportunities it brings to our school community! 📚🎨

Dear Parents/Guardians,

A quick reminder about our campus procedures: when visiting the school, please check in at the front office before going anywhere else in the building. This step is very important for the safety of all students and staff.

If you would like to meet with a teacher or visit a classroom, we kindly ask that you email or call the teacher directly to set up an appointment. Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice so the teacher can plan accordingly and ensure the visit is productive.
Thank you so much for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. We truly appreciate your partnership!
