Hello Forrest Street Families, This is a friendly reminder that there will be no 4K or Early Childhood programming tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7th, or Thursday, February 8th due to our Child Development Days.

Hello Forrest Street Families, Our second round of Student Success Conferences are coming up on Thursday, February 15th! Conferences will run from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm for our Forrest Street students.

The School District of Black River Falls will be closed on Friday, January 12th due to the pending snow storm. While we typically try to wait until the snow is actually flying before closing, the timing of this storm is going to make that difficult. We will have to trust the meteorologists that are quite certain it will be unsafe travel during the late morning and early afternoon. This means that all after school activities are also cancelled. As a reminder, Monday, February 15th is also a scheduled day off of school. Enjoy the long weekend!

Hello Forrest Street School Families! Can you believe it's November already? We hope that you are enjoying some of this beautiful weather while it lasts! Please find our November Newsletter attached below. I think you'll find that we are really rocking and rolling now. Students are digging into new material and learning every day. As a school, one of our goals is attendance and you are key players in helping us achieve this goal successfully! This not only means having students at school each day but also having them here on time (by 7:50) and avoiding picking them up early whenever possible. A second area that is also highlighted in our newsletter is dressing for the weather. We have seen a great deal of students coming to school in shorts and without coats when it was 20 degrees. As a reminder, we go out for recess every day unless the temperature is below zero! Please make sure that you send your student with clothing to meet the needs of the changing seasons. If your family needs help securing winter gear due to financial hardship, please contact the office. We want to ensure that every child has the opportunity to play and be successful at school! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Hello Forrest Street School Families! I wanted to take a minute to highlight a fundraiser that our Tiger Community Organization (TCO) is running. The TCO is selling all sorts of fun Tiger Pride gear! There are sweatshirts, blankets, bags and more! As a reminder, the TCO pays for many activities for Forrest Street students and staff; such as seeing the Eau Claire Children's Theater Play "Junie B. Jones," supplying the bounce house at our field day, and providing dinner for staff during conferences. In terms of fundraisers, in the past, coupon books and Fannie Mae sales have happened. This is a great opportunity to help the schools and the TCO and show some Tiger Pride!
