FHPS has gone GREEN to minimize fliers sent home in students backpacks.
Nonprofit community organizations, groups, and clubs can have links to their event(s) page from this page. By linking to your organization, community nonprofits can save money by eliminating costs associated with printing and copying. FHPS will no longer put PDFs on this page, but will only place a link to other sites.
Here’s what you need to do if you’d like this webpage to link to your nonprofit organization’s webpage with your activity you are promoting:
- Please email the link along with your organization’s updated tax ID number to contact@fhps.net. We are no longer putting organization’s PDFs on our website, just links to other sites.
- 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 nonprofit organization’s event or activity is approved, the link will be posted on this website page within a week.
- Please allow a week to 10 days for your organization’s link to be approved and go “live” on our web page.
- 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.
