Health Office
Our certified school nurse assesses the physical well-being of our students, provides routine health screening, and administers first aid and all medications. In addition, the school nurse teaches health education according to the core curriculum standards. Topics include personal health, safety, nutrition, and family life education.
Consulting Staff
Our psychiatric consultant makes regular observations of students in the classroom and holds individual student interviews when necessary. The psychologist consultant observes students and meets with selected students in small groups.
Social Worker
The social worker oversees parent services and coordinates the intake process. Parent support services are offered to ensure on-going communication between home and school, to provide input so parents can share effective child rearing and behavior management skills, and to give parents opportunities to network with other parents.
The Forum School Parents’ Association
The FSPA sponsors a variety of activities for students and families throughout the year, as well as engaging in fund raising. In conjunction with the art and music teachers, parents provide enrichment programs such as marionette theatre, multicultural music, dance demonstrations and workshops, printmaking and cartooning, wood and concrete sculpture, as well as performances to celebrate Black History Month and other seasonal events.
