Principal's Message - 10/23/16

Good evening, this is Mr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

We have reached the end of the first academic quarter of this school year. As a reminder, there will be no school for students tomorrow, October 24, or Tuesday, October 25. Students will return to classes on Wednesday, October 26. Parents, if you would like to set up a conference with any of your child’s teachers, please feel free to email them or call the school. If you have not already done so, I encourage all parents to reach out to your child’s teacher if you would like to discuss their academic progress. Report cards will go home with students this week.

Clubs and Organizations
The Forbush JROTC will sponsor ASVAB testing on the 9th of November at 8am in the Media Center. The test is open to all 10th through 12th grade students interested in joining the military BUT you must sign up with either Colonel Weatherstone or Master Sergeant Hayes in Room 130A. By taking the test you ARE NOT obligated in any way to join the military. See Colonel Weatherstone or Master Sergeant Hayes for details.

Any student interested in joining HOSA, please see Mrs. Sloan for a membership form. The cost to join is $20.00 and the deadline is this Friday, October 28.

Any student interested in becoming a member of the Student Leadership Team, please email or see Coach James (Room 606G) to receive an application. All applications are due October 31.

Anyone interested in wrestling this year, please plan to stay after school on Wednesday, October 26, to participate in the Hydration test. We will meet in the training room immediately after school and will finish by 3:45pm. Please drink extra fluids so you can pass the hydration test on Wednesday. See Coach Farmer in room 803J for more details.

Congratulations to Mallory Fobes for finishing 4th in last week’s Women's Golf Regional. Fobes will be competing this week in the State Finals.
