SCTP with Rutgers: School Survey
Forrestdale School has been selected, after an intensive application process, to participate in the three-year Rutgers SCTP (School Climate Transformation Project). This will involve surveying the school community, inclusive of Gr 4 - 8 students, parents, and staff. Then, this data will assist the SCTP Team at Forrestdale to develop goals and action steps to meet these goals regarding school climate. For more information, please read the letter in the Virtual Backpack.

Important Safety Reminders:
- Students are reminded to cross intersections only where a Crossing Guard is present.
- Students riding bikes or skateboards to school MUST wear helmets. Bikes must be placed at a bike rack and locked while school is in session. Bikes and skateboards may not be driven on campus; students MUST walk these on campus.
- Prior to entering the building, you must ring the door buzzer and state your name and purpose for visiting. You MUST report to the Main Office to sign in immediately, which includes dropping off items.
- Please pull up and drop off at the Gym Door, not the Main Entrance door. This allows for more cars to pull into the loop and drop off.

- Please refrain from bringing in birthday treats during lunches, as we need your assistance in keeping the Cafeteria safe and orderly.
