Thanks for your flexibility!

Attention 5th Graders and Parents!

There will be a short presentation and a question and answer session to follow. Parents who plan to attend should try to attend the meeting at their designated middle school campus, but are welcome to choose a session at a different campus if need be.

Evening Hours at the Library

I'm excited to announce that Forest North will be opening its doors for evening library hours! Everyone is welcome!

Please note that for the May 26th date you will have to be in good standing with the library to participate. This means that all books from the school year will have to be turned in and any lost/damaged fines paid by that point.

I'm looking forward to spending some fun time with everyone soon!

Feel free to contact me with any questions at 464-6790.

Check out the Third Grade Blog!

Our third graders have begun book clubs this week!

They have been to the library to practice their blogging skills, and now they are ready to blog about the books they are reading in class.
