We are excited to welcome our future Bearcats to our Pre-K program! Registration is coming soon. Please review the flyer for important details and be sure to bring your child and required documents. We can’t wait to meet our newest students!
The National Association of School Resource Officers encourages schools and communities to recognize the valuable work of their school resource officers (SROs) during National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day on February 15 of every year, and we want to take a moment to give a special shout-out to our outstanding SROs.
Chief Coshune Bingham and Officer Jaylon Lofton go above and beyond each day to ensure the safety, security and well-being of our students and staff. Their presence on our campuses provides not only protection, but mentorship, guidance and positive relationships that make a lasting impact.
Join us in thanking them both for their commitment to our schools and to the Forest community. We appreciate you today and every day!

Mr. Richey’s dedication to education and the impact he made during his time in Forest will be remembered by colleagues, students, and members of our school community. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, friends, and all who are mourning his loss.
Please keep the Richey family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY UPDATE
A short time ago, Forest High School and Forest Elementary School were placed on a precautionary lockdown as part of our standard safety protocols.
We want to assure our parents and community that all students and staff are safe and teaching and learning has resumed.
We appreciate the quick response of our staff and the cooperation of our students, along with the support of our School Resource Officers and local law enforcement (Forest Police Department and Scott County Sheriff Department). Student safety remains our top priority.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to prioritize the well-being of our school community.
This week, we recognize and celebrate our superintendent, Dr. Melanie Nelson, and assistant superintendent, Dr. Marcus Holbert, for their unwavering leadership and commitment to advancing educational excellence in FMSD.
Your vision, hard work, and heart for our schools make a meaningful difference every day. Thank you for leading the way!
Our Robotics Team was also recognized for their impressive performance at last weekend's competition. We are so proud of their teamwork, creativity and perseverance!
What a night of accomplishments for FMSD!
Forest Municipal School District extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, classmates, coaches and teachers of Brystol Marie Johnson, a beloved student of Forest High School who passed away over the weekend.
During this difficult time, we join together as a school community to honor her life and to support all who are grieving this heartbreaking loss. Counselors are available at Forest High School to provide comfort and support to students and staff who may need someone to talk to as they process this tragedy.
We ask the Bearcat community to keep the family uplifted in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
May we all find strength, hope, and comfort together.
Come out, be LOUD, and show your BEARCAT PRIDE as we cheer them on to victory!
