We would like to advise all parents that we have had a few cases of head lice reported in the building.
We advise parents to check their child's hair every 2 or 3 days for the next few weeks. One nit can hatch and begin laying eggs in a very short period of time.
We suggest that the best way to deal with head lice is to use a treatment (either purchased at a drug store or one of the home remedies available to you). This treatment should kill any live lice....but will not have much of an effect on the nits which have not yet hatched. Therefore, it is extremely important that all nits be removed from the hair...if you miss even one the problem will return in as little as two weeks.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. McGrath at the school office.

Back Parking Lot Drop Off
RE: back parking lot drop off of students
Notice To Forest Hills Parents & Community
Because safety is our topmost priority at Forest Hills School, we are asking our parents and community to assist in implementing traffic changes.
1. Vehicles must only park in designated parking areas.
2. Vehicles must drop off children at the corner of the traffic lane and then
continue moving.
3. It is not necessary, and we discourage, parents accompanying children in to the school. This practice contributes to a lot of traffic congestion.
4. Children who are within walking distance of the school are encouraged to walk – promoting fitness and helping reduce carbon emissions.
5. Beginning Monday, November 10, 2008, we will be monitoring this and identifying vehicles that are causing problems.
6. Vehicles picking up children at the end of the school day must be parked in
designated parking spots.
7. AT NO TIME should there be vehicles parked or idling (for longer than a quick drop off) in the fire lane adjacent to the entire back of the school.
Thank you from the school’s administration and PSSC for considering children’s safety as our #1 focus.

Ski Club
Once again this year we will be organizing a Ski club for middle level students at Forest Hills School. This program runs for six weeks each year and is sponsored by the Poley Mountain After School Ski Program.
The program begins on January 15, 2009 and is open to all middle level students. The cost for the six week program is $150.00. This fee includes return transportation from FHS to Poley Mountain, equipment rental and ski lessons. All fees are due before December 17, 2008.
Parent Volunteers ski for free. Teacher supervisors travel with the students to and from the ski hill.
The cost is based on a minimum of 30 students participating and may increase if we have fewer than 30 students interested.
If your child is interested, listen to morning announcements for a student meeting which will be held in mid November.
If you have any further questions about our Ski Club, please do not hesitate to contact the school administration or Mr. A. Fequet who is the program supervisor.
