Principal's Message - 1/22/17

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.

Updated Policy Regarding Meal Charges
As we begin the second semester of the school year, I want to let everyone know that we have updated our policy regarding student meal charges for breakfast and lunch. Beginning with the spring semester, students with over $5 in meal charges will not be able to charge unless they receive permission from the office. Students and parents are reminded to pay off all meal charges as soon as possible and to keep a positive account balance. If you have any questions about this updated policy, please feel free to call or email me.

School Counseling Department
All rising Forbush freshmen are invited to our 8th Grade Orientation on Monday, February 6. This event will begin at 5:30pm in the auditorium with important information for rising 9th grade students and parents. Following this meeting, students and parents will have the opportunity to tour the FHS campus, meet teachers and staff, and learn more about all the programs and activities we have to offer at Forbush High School. We look forward to meeting our rising 9th grade students on February 6.

Class of 2017… if you are planning to go to college and need help paying for it, be sure to go to Ms. Mitze’s website to research scholarships and complete the FAFSA. Visit the Counseling office or go to our website for more information.
