From the Principal

Dear Forest Ridge Elementary School District Families and Community Members,

As the proud Principal of Lee R. Foster School since the 2000-2001 school year, I welcome you to our web site. By utilizing this site, we hope to widen communication lines between our school and all of the community stakeholders.

As we start a new year, we continue to work toward excellence in education for all of the children at Foster. We have implemented a platform of six school-wide rules in order to coordinate our character education efforts. These six rules are:

Be On Time

Be Ready To Work

Be Kind To All

Be Honest

Be Fair

Be Respectful To People and Property

We have also implemented an additional pledge each morning to remind us of these school wide rules.

My Foster Promise

Today and everyday I will try my best. I will be on time, be ready to work, be kind to all, be honest and fair, and be respectful to people and property. This is my Foster Promise.

Please make sure you familiarize yourself with the new district wide Parent/Student handbook. This document includes a variety of information that is important to know.

During your child's stay at Foster, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at cberinger@d142.org or at (708) 687-4763.

Sincerely,

Curt Beringer
