Understanding Your Child's Kindergarten Readiness Score: All Mississippi public-school children take a Kindergarten Readiness Assessment at the beginning of the school year. Schools have begun issuing assessment results to parents of kindergarten students. A student’s score lets parents and teachers know whether students are on track to be proficient readers by the end of third grade.
Kindergarteners who score below 530 at the beginning of the year may need extra support or interventions to become better readers.


A "Welcome to Forest" Reception will be held to meet, greet, and welcome the new superintendent of Forest Municipal School District, Dr. Melanie Nelson. Please see the attached flyer for more details about this community event!
