Punch Your Time Card
PTA volunteers spend hours helping in the classroom, coordinating projects, making food, volunteering at events and attending meetings. Make sure your time counts! Please print and complete a volunteer form for all the hours you've never recorded. Return completed forms to the school office for VIPS Coordinator Catherine Summerlin.
So many supplies. So little storage.
If you have old shelves you can donate for the art room, please contact Ms. Langley
Forest Park Gets High Marks
High standarized test scores landed Forest Park on the front page of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette's first issue of the new year. As you may have read in the January 1 paper, Forest Park students scored in the 82 percentile nationally on the 2011 Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). That score places Forest Park first among Little Rock public elementary schools and 9th among schools statewide. Four of the top scoring schools are Kindergarten-only programs, which places us in the top five for elementary schools statewide.

Congratulations, teachers and students, for this excellent performance.
