February is here. January seemed to go by fast and a large part of that were the many days that we missed due to the weather. We hope that the worst is behind us and that we will be able to continue uninterrupted by weather. Please continue to work with your child each night and encourage them to always do their best. Remind your child every day to work hard and make good choices both academically and behaviorally. We have had an excellent year so far. The support we receive here at school from you is greatly appreciated and is reflected in the success that Green Forest has maintained for many years.
Please be sure to update any contact information if that becomes necessary. It is important that we keep our system up to date so that we can always contact you when necessary. As a reminder, we do have a Green Forest App and website. Visit these to find important dates and upcoming events as well as the breakfast and lunch menus. We also have a parent portal through TeacherEase that allows you to keep up with your students grades and lunch account balance. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
There are just a couple of other reminders as we continue through this year. First, please continue to monitor your child’s health daily. If they are running a fever, vomiting or having diarrhea, please do not send them to school for the following twenty-four hours. Contact the office or your child’s teacher, and we can have work for that day put together and available to be picked up. Second, February has become the month with the coldest weather and most snow. Please send your student to school in warm clothes. If you need any warm clothes such as gloves, coats, or hats, just contact the office. We have received some donations of clothes this year from local businesses and have some items in our closet here. Lastly, it is truly great to be a Mustang. We are so fortunate to have a great board, amazing teachers, awesome students, and supportive families. This place is special and unlike any other school I have been a part of. I feel so lucky to be a part of it and I hope you do to. Thank you and let’s have a great rest of the year. – Mr. Prugh
