All children who attend the event will be the
responsibility of the parent and should remain with the
parent throughout the event. Children (regardless of age)
will not be allowed to roam the hallways while parents
attend the sessions. Thank you for your assistance.
Step Up Day
Step up Day is an opportunity that allows students
to meet their assigned teacher for the 2015-2016
school year. The students will spend 30 minutes
with their upcoming teacher. 5th grade students will
spend the 30 minutes with their kindergarten
teacher. Students will bring home a welcome letter
from the teacher for their parents. We will hold Step
Up Day for track 1 on June 1 at 8 am and for tracks
2,3&4 on June 29 at 8 am.

Teacher Requests
North Forest Pines does not accept parent
requests for specific teachers. This has been
our policy since the school opened in 2007.
Parents may submit a letter to the principal
describing their child’s learning style or a
teaching style that best meets their child’s
learning needs. Our goal at NFP is to establish
healthy and balanced classrooms. Class
assignments are finalized by the principal.
Teachers have little control over your child’s
assignment for the next school year. Please be
mindful that siblings are not guaranteed to
have the same teachers. Thank you in
advance for respecting the class assignment
process.
Field Day Fun
Join us for some active fun! Each class will
participate in structured activities and
games. This year field day will be held in
the bus loop. There will be class pictures,
games, water activities, relay races, etc.
