Community Updates and 2025-2026 Back-to-School Reminders
FHSD always strives to provide relevant and timely updates to residents of Anderson Township and the Village of Newtown. Part of those efforts include publications that are mailed to all addresses in Forest Hills School District, the latest of which is the 2025 Summer Postcard.
The district is grateful for the support of all taxpayers in the community whose critical funds make it possible for FHSD to provide an unmatched educational experience for all students that empowers them to achieve personal success every day.
This article provides a snapshot of some important updates for community members, as well as key back-to-school reminders for families with children attending one of our nine schools for the upcoming school year.
