It’s tradition at Forest Road School for sixth graders to wear a special class t-shirt to the end-of-the-year party and on the last day of school.

T-shirts are $18/each and must be ordered no later than the end of the school day on Friday, April 14.

There are two ways to order:

Online with credit card: Click here to pay for your order with credit card.

Pay with cash or check: Print the ORDER FORM return it with exact cash or a check (made out to the Forest Road PTO) to the Forest Road front office.

Note: Students who receive free or reduced lunches at school will be provided with a t-shirt, but should still fill out the paper order form and return it to the office by the deadline.

There will be a class slideshow, celebrating all the students, shared at the end-of-the-year party, class breakfast, and possibly the all-school assembly.

We need your help to make sure every sixth grader is represented in the slideshow.  We would appreciate it if every family sends a baby or early photo of your sixth grader to include in the slideshow.  (A baby photo would be great, but if a baby photo isn’t available, then any photo from before this year will work.)

We also need digital candid photos of your student at school and with Forest Road friends throughout their years at Forest Road.

There are two ways to submit photos:

Email: FR6THGRADERS2023@GMAIL.COM.

Send photos to the main office: If you only have a hard copy available, please send it in with your student to the school office, clearly labeled with their name and homeroom and your contact information so we can scan and return it to you.

Parents are invited to view the slideshow during the last 30 minutes of the end-of-the-year party on May 19 and at the class breakfast on the last day of school on June 8.

Last Day of School: Thursday, June 8, 2023, 8:30-9:30AM

Sixth graders and their families — up to two adults per student, please, due to space constraints — will meet in the gym on the last day of school to enjoy light refreshments, socialize, and watch the class slideshow before students return to their classrooms.
