News & Announcements

In January, the District sent information to staff and families regarding Administrative Procedures for quarantines after travel. Our goal was to be clear and concise in our communication of information to the people we serve.

Forest Ridge School District 142 has exciting news to share as we look towards the 4th Quarter and the end of the school year. With community transmission rates low, our consistent safety, and in response to the need for our students to return to school in-person for a greater amount of time, District 142 will be moving to Phase 4 starting April 19, 2021.

Tonight's Committee and Board of Education Meetings will be held remotely due to weather conditions/COVID-19. For more information, click Read full story.

The safety and security of all District 142 students, families, and staff is of utmost importance.

The City of Oak Forest has changed the platform for Reverse 911 calling and has migrated to the Everbridge system. This service is free and replaces a system that was costly to the Oak Forest taxpayers. The city has asked Forest Ridge School District 142 to help disseminate this information.

Beginning this week, students across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the ninth annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey.

The district will be conducting benchmarking for grades 1-5 over the next two weeks. Three times a year we take a snapshot of our entire student population in the areas of reading and mathematics.  The district uses Fastbridge, a reliable and valid measure, to accomplish this.

Forest Ridge School District 142 will begin registering kindergarten-aged children who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2021 and live within the district boundaries. Your child’s date of birth must be on or before September 1, 2016.

The safety and security of all District 142 students, families, and staff is of utmost importance. Therefore, tomorrow, Tuesday, January 26, Forest Ridge School District 142 will be canceling In-Person (Hybrid A) learning due to anticipated severe weather conditions overnight. This is NOT a snow day.

With reports of heavy and blowing snow coming our way, the District is monitoring the weather very closely. In the event that we cancel In-Person instruction due to inclement weather, you will be notified as soon as possible via our SwiftReach notification system by text and email. Additionally, the In-Person cancelation will be posted on the District website and social media.
