Dear Lake Forest Parents, Employees and School Community,

The elections results are in and I am pleased to announce the parent and teacher representatives who will serve on our inaugural School Governance Council.  Please join me in congratulating these parents and teachers who will help guide our school over the next few years:

I also want to thank all of you who ran for a position on the School Governance Council. Your willingness to lead is a testament to the strength of our school community.

Our newly elected Teacher and Parent representatives will be joined by additional representatives from our school and community over the next month.  I have the honor of appointing two school employees and I will nominate two community representatives to be approved by the remainder of the Council in place.  All School Governance Council members will participate in training and begin the work of the Council in January and February. Please stay tuned to our website for updates on the Council.

Sincerely,

Harvey Oaxaca, Principal

IMPORTANT Information for ALL Lake Forest Volunteers!!!

You’ve all probably seen communication regarding our need to have all school volunteers take the Child Abuse Reporting training at the school. Thankfully, the process for doing this has become a little bit easier. It is no longer necessary for parents to do the training in the school building. The link below will direct volunteers to a video of the training that can be viewed at home (or other non-school location). After viewing the video, there is a certificate that can be printed. This will verify that the parent/volunteer has completed the training. The parent/volunteer should bring this certificate to the school prior to volunteering.

In order to volunteer, each parent will need to complete the Volunteer Safety Form and provide the Child Abuse Reporting Protocol Training Certificate.

The video is about 10-12 minutes long, and it will need to be completed each school year.

Any volunteers that do not have internet or printer access can use computers at the school. Just let us know that it’s needed so we can arrange a time.

For questions, please call Beda Roberts, our Social Worker.
