Your Voice Matters in the Superintendent Search

Forest Lake Area Schools has begun the important work of selecting the district's next superintendent, and we are seeking your input. As part of this process, we are gathering feedback from students, staff, families and community members to help the School Board identify the characteristics and qualities that matter most in our next leader.

Please take a few minutes to complete the brief survey linked below. Your thoughts and perspectives -- combined with feedback gathered through listening sessions -- will play a vital role in shaping the recruiting, selection and hiring process. Your input will directly inform the School Board as they work to choose the right candidate for Forest Lake Area Schools.

Supporting Friendships at School

Each of our Forest Lake Area Schools has programs and lessons in place to help students of all ages build positive relationships with each other and with school staff. This work emphasizes kindness, empathy and respect. It helps our students become part of a community and practice the essential life skills of living and working alongside people who have different backgrounds and personal characteristics.

The importance of regular attendance

Research shows that regular attendance at school truly matters. National studies show that a middle schooler who misses two or fewer days each year has a 93% chance of starting high school on track to graduate versus 66% for a child who misses 10 or more days. 

Families and systems that push for consistent attendance at school create habits that continue into adulthood and the workplace. In the present, making school attendance a priority has far-reaching benefits for a student’s development.
