Forrest Street Elementary

Good Afternoon Forrest Street Families! Thank you for helping your students arrive at school by 7:50am. We love seeing our students in the classroom and ready to learn. If dropping off in the morning, we ask that all students and families go through the school office. Students will have the opportunity to eat breakfast then go to the playground through the safety and security of our building rather than walking through the bus parking lot. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe. We look forward to another great day tomorrow. Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day!

Hello Forrest Street Families! We are off to a great start for the 2024-2025 school year! A friendly reminder that school begins at 7:50 am. We look forward to seeing our students in their classrooms at this time. This week at Forrest Street Elementary, students will be learning how to be safe, respectful, and responsible in our school and buses. We call this the Tiger Way! More information will be sent home on Friday. We hope you have a wonderful week! If there is anything we can do to be of assistance to you or your family, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 715-284-9406. Mrs. Kurschner Principal

Attention Shopaholic Parents (We See You )! We know it feels like just yesterday you were packing away sunscreen and pool noodles. But guess what? The whispers are true—eventually, school's coming. And while those enticing back-to-school sale flyers might be flooding your mailbox, fear not! We still need to pick out our new teacher outfits (fashionable sweater vests, anyone?). We wouldn't want you to miss out on those epic deals on neon highlighters and three-hole-punched everything. So, consider this your friendly reminder to: ✏️ Bookmark this post! It's ready when you're ready! ✏️   Sharpen those shopping pencils! You'll be all set by the time open house arrives (August 22--one month from today). ✏️   Distract yourselves with poolside puns! We recommend "feeling fintastic" or "beach day blues are a distant memory." Here's the link: [ 🔗 https://www.brf.org/page/supply-lists ] Stay tuned, future scholars (and their equally enthusiastic parents)! #tigrrpride
