At the Forestdale School, our mission reminds us every day of who we are and what we value: We grow readers. We are a family of learners. We are safe, have fun, and are kind to one another, and we never give up. These guiding principles shape every classroom, hallway, and interaction within our school community. Whether students are exploring new stories, collaborating on projects, or building friendships, we are committed to creating an environment where every child feels supported, challenged, and inspired to grow. Our focus on literacy and the joy of reading remains at the heart of our work, ensuring that all students develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
As we move through the year together, I am continually proud of the care, perseverance, and positivity our students demonstrate each day. Teachers, families, and staff play an essential role in nurturing the Forestdale spirit—one where kindness is expected, safety is prioritized, and learning is celebrated. Thank you for being partners in fostering a school culture where children feel encouraged to take risks, persist through challenges, and embrace the fun of learning. With your continued support, Forestdale will remain a place where every student knows they belong and where we truly “never give up.
Warm regards,
Chris Dintino
