Forest Heights STEM Academy K-8 -

📢 Reminder for FHSA MIDDLE School Students- Starting Monday, all students are required to wear their name badges. Students without a badge will receive lunch detention. ✅ Missing badges, lanyards, and plastic sleeves were replaced today, so everyone is ready to go!

Dear Forest Heights Families,
We hope your child has had a great start to the year!. We want to remind you that students are expected to arrive at school on time, with the school day starting promptly at 7:40 AM. If they arrive after that time, they will need to sign in at the office, and elementary students must be signed in by a parent.
We have noticed that students have been arriving late to school. Regular punctuality is very important as it helps your child start the day smoothly and not miss important lessons.
Please make every effort to ensure your child arrives by 7:40 AM moving forward. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in helping us provide the best learning environment for all students. Also, please avoid checking out your student early unless it is for a medical appointment.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick

Big surprise at FHSA today! 🎉 Mr. Scarborough, executive director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, brought guest visitor Romeo Miller to our campus. They stopped by several classes, took photos with students and staff, and even recorded a special video for a student’s mom—his biggest fan! This was Romeo’s second visit to FHSA, and our students and staff loved every minute. We are so grateful to Mr. Scarborough and the MLK Commission for bringing these amazing experiences to our school!

Game on! Ms. Carruth’s 8th grade Physical Science students learned about electron behavior while designing and playing the Electron Valence Game! They put their science skills to work by counting valence electrons with system formulas.
