Principal's Message - 1/15/17

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

I want to begin this evening by thanking everyone for your patience and flexibility in the midst of last weekend’s winter storm. The changes in the calendar caused by the weather forced us to alter our exam schedule, so I appreciate all of our students and parents working with us as we made the necessary adjustments.

Exams and Spring Semester
Looking ahead to this week, I want to remind everyone that there will be no school for students tomorrow (Monday, January 16) in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday. There will also be no school for students on Tuesday, January 17.

Students will take their fourth period state exam on Wednesday, January 18. We will dismiss at noon on Wednesday. All students will return to school on Thursday, January 19 as we begin the spring semester. Students will report to homeroom that morning to pick up their class schedules.

Attendance Appeals
Students who have accumulated more than 8 unexcused absences during the fall semester are asked to pick up their attendance appeals paperwork in the Pass Room. All paperwork is due on Friday, January 20, in order to be considered. Please see Mrs. Baity or an administrator if you have a question about your attendance in a particular class.

Home Athletics
Friday: Wrestling vs. Surry Central and Ashe County

Also, our swim team competes in the conference championship meet on Friday at the Armfield Civic Center in Pilot Mountain, so we wish all of the student-athletes on our swim team good luck!

That is all for this evening. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook for daily updates and announcements. Also, do not hesitate to call or email me if you ever have any questions or concerns. Thank you very much for your time this evening. Good night.
