We are off to a great start to the new school year in our STEAM Lab here at Forest North. We have already had several classes learning drag and drop programming using our Dash Robots. We have also had classes using our Keva Planks, Legos, and Brain Flakes to get creative and build all sorts of interesting items. We have even had our teachers spending time learning the ins and out of the STEAM Lab so that can better utilizes it with their own classes.

Dear Parents,

We’re excited to have a new morning opportunity for kids this year at Forest North! Our Jump Start Morning stations allow all students to participate in active games and exercise before school begins each day. The time with friends and physical activity allows them to get their brains and bodies ready for the school day. The kids are having tons of fun, reporting that it’s like an “extra fun recess” first thing in the morning. Teachers report that their students are warmed up and more ready to learn when the bell rings. Jump Start is quick (7:20-7:35), so get your child here early to participate. If he/she eats breakfast at school, they need to be here early enough to eat first. Breakfast is served beginning at 7:00 am.

With Jump Start, we have lots of kids outside in the mornings. Parking lot and traffic safety is more important than ever. Please remember:

The speed limit on campus is 10 mph at all times. Please slow down and be cautious.
Always use the cross walks to cross the streets when walking. Model good behavior for your children.
Student drop off and pick up is in the front of the school. Back drop off in the morning is only allowed for FCC, FAC and PPCD/TWC students near the back playground. There is ABSOLUTELY NO PK-5 drop off in the back. This becomes a huge safety issue, so please use the car rider line in front for morning drop off.
The left lane in the front of the school is for buses and daycare vans only.
Thank you for your help and for supporting our new Jump Start Mornings!

Sincerely,

Amy Jacobs, Principal
