CULTURAL AMBASSADORS NEEDED!

At Forest View, we are proud to have a variety of cultures represented!

To support families that are relatively new to the American school system, we would like to start a Cultural Ambassador program.  

Cultural Ambassadors are parents who can represent their culture by supporting others who have questions or would like to learn more about how the American and/or Forest View school system works. We plan to meet a few times during this school year, depending on the need.

If you are an experienced parent and would like to support fellow parents as a Cultural Ambassador, please contact Ali Davis at adavis@everettsd.org.

NEW CELL PHONE POLICY

The use of cell phones in the classroom can distract students from instruction, yet can be important to have accessible in case of emergency. With this in mind, the district has adopted a new policy 3246 and procedure 3246P which prohibits cell phone use in the classroom while still providing access for students in case of emergency. 

Elementary school students who choose to bring cell phones to school may only use them before or after the school day. During the school day, they must be powered off and stored (e.g., in the student’s backpack, locker, other district provided storage). This policy includes cell phones and cellular connected watches (for example Gizmo watches). There will be storage in the classroom so, in the event of an emergency, the cell phones will be accessible without leaving the classroom.
