Hello, Forrestal Families. I hope summer break has been great so far! I'm sending just a quick note to remind you that for students to start school on August 17th, you must provide proof of the required vaccines. Tomorrow there is a free event at the high school where you can get the vaccines and required ​documentation.

Please tell your child I miss them and hope they are reading each and every day!
