Dear Forrestal Parents/Guardians,
Due to the extreme heat expected tomorrow, Tuesday, August 27th, 2024, and current facility conditions, Forrestal Elementary will be closed for in-person learning. All students will participate in remote learning/e-learning for the day. A list of Google Meet links for each class can be found on the Forrestal school website under the "Severe Weather Remote Learning." Chromebooks were previously sent home with students for remote learning purposes. Note: All other District 187 schools will remain open as planned.

Dear Forrestal Parent/Guardians: A construction company struck a gas pipe near the south end of the Forrestal building. Per safety procedures, 911 was notified. The gas company quickly responded by shutting off the gas in that area. The fire department has provided the all-clear, and all students have returned to their regular schedules. Student safety is paramount during times like this, and we are happy to report that the remainder of the day will go as scheduled.
Led by Mrs. Dora King, Chair of the D187 Independent Authority Board, the D187 Elected School Board Campaign hosted a Community Leaders Breakfast this summer. Community leaders learned about the campaign and were asked for their support in spreading the word and encouraging community engagement and preparation for the transition to an elected school board.
Dirigida por la Sra. Dora King, presidenta de la Junta de Autoridad Independiente del D187, la Campaña de la Junta Escolar Electa del D187 organizó un desayuno para líderes comunitarios este verano. Los líderes comunitarios se enteraron de la campaña y se les pidió su apoyo para difundir la información y fomentar la participación comunitaria y la preparación para la transición a una junta escolar electa.
Family Care Closet Re-opens tomorrow
Forrestal parents/guardians:
At 9:15 am, a company not affiliated with Forrestal's new building drilled into the ground on Wisconsin Avenue to lay new fiber optic cables. They hit an unmarked/undetected underground gas pipe. Their safety protocol was to call 911 immediately. The Navy Fire Department responded and ordered an evacuation of Forrestal out of an abundance of caution while the gas pipe was repaired. During the assessment, all students were accounted for and boarded buses dispatched by the District Transportation Department in a well-coordinated effort with the school that would have taken Forrestal students and staff to the HS; however, all was repaired before that needed to occur. The Fire Department and Nicor gave the all-clear and students returned at approximately 10:30 am.
At this time, Forrestal students are at Forrestal Elementary and will follow a regular early dismissal today (Wednesday). We want to reassure you that the safety of our D187 students is our top priority, and all necessary measures have been taken. We thank you for your understanding.
Forrestal parents/guardians:
To ensure the safety of our D187 students and staff, we received the all-clear, and students are back at Forrestal Elementary for the day. Forrestal students will return to a regular dismissal schedule today. Thank you for being so understanding. If you have any questions, please call the front office at 847-689-6310.
