It is with great pleasure that I welcome everyone for the 2023-2024 school year!   I am excited to begin with team work as our main focus for the upcoming school year as we build a strong learning community here at Forest Ave School.

Forest Ave is a K-3 elementary school with nearly 40 faculty and staff and approximately 350 students, located in Middletown , Rhode Island.  The extremely dedicated staff strive to make every student grow and succeed academically while making lasting connections with students and families and forming lifelong friendships.  

We will be implementing a brand new reading curriculum this year along with instruction in Math, Science and Social Studies while also enjoying music, art, PE, health, library and STEAM.  All of the students have access to chromebooks while we continue to integrate technology into daily lessons and curriculum. 

We also have a fantastic parent teacher group who helps to support the school with assemblies, school events, field trips and more for our students to enhance their learning.  We encourage parents to become involved in any capacity in their child’s learning and education and are open to parent involvement in many forms. 

At Forest Ave, student growth is the focus and we look for opportunities to recognize and highlight this throughout the year .  All of the unbelievable  teaching and learning that occurs within the Forest Ave building will be accomplished in a fun and engaging atmosphere where student and staff smiles will be seen everywhere! 

My door is always open and I look forward to meeting you and your children!
