School HighlightsSpring Parent-Teacher Conferences
Due to the weather cancellation of school and activities on Tuesday, February 20, conferences that were scheduled for February 20 have been postponed to Tuesday, February 27. If you were scheduled for a conference on February 20, your time has already been reserved for Tuesday, February 27. If you need to rechedule or cancel, please call the school office at 662-7958. Forest Glen will be hosting its annual Spring Book Fair during parent teacher conferences. The book fair will be open at 4:00pm-8:00pm.
Please plan on attending our fair to help us put more books in the hands of our students at school and Forest Glen families at home, by connecting kids with books they want to read! All profit dollars earned from the book fair benefit Forest Glen by providing our students and teachers with opportunities to use those dollars to purchase books and build classroom libraries. Food Service UpdateNational School Breakfast Week is taking place March 5-9 with this year’s theme being “I Heart School Breakfast.” Did you know, students who eat school breakfast are more likely to score higher on standardized tests, have better concentration and memory, be more alert, and maintain a healthy weight?! With hectic mornings, your child has healthy breakfast options available at school! Keep an eye out for some of our most popular breakfast items this week as well as a couple of new items. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in activities and receiving giveaways during breakfast this week.
March is National Nutrition Month. We take the time to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits during this month. There is a wide variety of options offered for school breakfast and lunch. Check out http://hssdwi.nutrislice.com/ for healthy offerings, theme menus, and giveaways! Music Notes See what's happening in music at Forest Glen by checking out Forest Glen Music Room Facebook page! Lineville Intermediate School Music Choices In March parents of 4th graders will be asked to choose a 5th grade music class. On March 14, 4th graders will attend a music demonstration at Lineville. Course descriptions and registration information will be available on March 14th, and parents and students will learn about band, chorus, and orchestra classes at Lineville. A selection must be made and the registration completed within two weeks. Parents who desire more information at this time are invited to visit the music class websites, which are linked to the Lineville home page: http://linevillehssd.weebly.com Attendance Matters Program The Milwaukee Bucks have partnered with Wendy's to offer the Attendance Matters Program. This program enables any student who achieves perfect classroom attendance during the month of February to receive a special complimentary ticket offer. Also, student attendees will receive a free kids meal at Wendy's and the opportunity to shoot a post-game free throw on the Bucks court during a game in March or April! The Forest Glen office will track student attendance and those students who achieve perfect attendance during the month of February will receive a ticket order form to be sent directly to the Milwaukee Bucks. Perfect attendance means a student has been in the classroom each school day in February from 8:45am-3:25pm. Importance of School Attendance!If your child will be absent due to an appointment, it is recommended that you attain an excuse from your provider for the date and time of the visit and return the excuse to the school office. This will ensure that the absence is noted as an excused absence or tardy. Appointment cards will NOT be accepted as an excuse.
Call to report your child's daily absence by calling the school's attendance line at 662-7990. NEW!! Report your child's absence online here: http://forestglenhssd.weebly.com/electronic-absence-form.html Monitor your child’s tardies and absences through the district website: http://powerschool.hssd.k12.wi.us/public/ Click here for more information about the importance of attendance from the State Superintendent's office. EMERGENCY CLOSINGS AND DELAYS
Inclement weather may necessitate the closing or delay of schools. If schools are closed this will also include the cancellation of extracurricular activities and the events in the community pool unless otherwise announced. Please listen to local radio or television stations for school closings or delays. Such weather may also deter students from going outside during the school day.
