FHPS has gone GREEN
In our ongoing effort to minimize fliers home with our students and in their backpacks, our district has gone “Green.” Community organizations, groups, and clubs can have their flier(s) posted here. This page can reach the entire community, and better yet, organizations can save money by eliminating costs associated with printing and copying. Here’s what you need to do if you’d like your nonprofit flier on the FHPS website:
- Please email the flier in an acceptable ADA compliant PDF format along with your organization’s updated tax ID number to contact@fhps.net. ADA compliant PDFs must be screen-reader friendly. Screen-reader software is a form of assistive technology. If an organization doesn’t provide the PDF that is ADA accessible, we will just list the nonprofit organization below with a link to their website.
- Forest Hills Public Schools will not promote an event, club, or activity which interferes or conflicts with an existing program offered by FHPS Community Services. For a copy of ongoing Community Services programs, visit their website: www.enjoylearning.com.
- If the flier is approved for publication, it will be posted on this website page within a week.
The school district does not sponsor/endorse or otherwise take a position on these non-profit entities that exist separately from FHPS. We simply provide this service to our community in an effort to inform them of events/activities that may be of interest to school-aged children.
All fliers below are in a PDF format.
