During School
Colors/Falcon Fridays
We are the Falcons and our school colors are Forest Green and White. Show your Falcon pride every Friday by wearing your green and white or your Falcon Spirit Wear!
Falcon Awards
Falcon Awards are given monthly by the teachers to students who personify certain qualities that the campus community is focusing on: caring, sharing, etc.  Falcon Awards are revealed during campus assemblies and students are honored with their photo in the school office.
Falcon Feathers
Falcon Feathers are green notes passed out by the adults on campus to students to acknowledge good behavior.  Students might earn a Falcon Feather by picking up trash, helping another student, etc.
Yellow Jackets
Not the flying kind to be afraid of!  Yellow Jackets are our way of letting the kids spot the adult supervisors during recess, lunch and after school.  Yellow Jackets can also be found in our Before and After School Recreation Program, and they are also great people to find if you have questions on campus, which leads us to...
After School
BASRP
There is no great way to say this acronym! BASRP stands for Before and After School Recreation Program. BASRP provides child care before and after school, features games, homework help and a safe place to start and finish the school day.
After School Enrichment
Be on the lookout for the announcement of After School Enrichment Classes!  These popular sessions are held several times through the year at both Forest Grove and Robert Down (the other elementary school in P.G.). Classes offer a variety of topics - from guitar, dance, yoga, art to chess.  Classes fill on a First Come First Served basis, so don't delay in signing up for these classes.  There is a fee for the these classes.
​
Just Run
Afterschool, volunteer run program for k-5 students to play games, run laps and practice physical fitness. Usually held afterschool on Thursdays 2:00-3:00 from late January through March.
Campus and Parking
Campus Layout
Our campus is organized in several levels.  In order from Congress Avenue going up to Forest Lodge Road, we start with the Kindergarten Level.
 
The main gathering space of 1-5 grades is called First Level.  
The area above the library with handball and basketball courts is Second Level.  
Third Level is the green grass playing fields.
Parking
We ask that parents drop off and pick up their students in the back parking lot above the Third Level, accessed off of Forest Lodge Road.  This allows for safe bus loading and unloading in the front of campus.
