Principal's Message - 8/27/17

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.

Our first week of the school year is in the books. I want to thank all the students, parents, and teachers for all they did to make this first week such a success. We are looking forward to a great year this year at Forbush High School.

School Counseling Office
Seniors, please make plans to attend the annual senior presentation entitled “Going to College - Get Organized and Get Started.” This meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 8 at the start of 2nd period in the auditorium. Seniors will learn about resources to use to research career options, college choices, prepare for the SAT & ACT, pay for college, and more! Once again, this meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 8 at the start of 2nd period in the auditorium.

Surry Community College is holding its annual “College Fair” on Tuesday, September 12. Many North Carolina colleges will be represented! Juniors and seniors may sign up to attend but space is limited. Permission forms are available in the School Counseling office and the deadline to sign up is September 8 or until we run out of spots.

Clubs and Organizations
There will be an Athletics Booster Club meeting tomorrow, Monday, August 28, beginning at 7pm in Cafeteria 1.

There will be a DECA interest meeting​ on Friday​,​ September 1st from 7:40-8:10 in Mrs. Funk's room 303C.

Additional Reminders
Students, this is a reminder that, just like last year, once you accumulate debt in the cafeteria of more than $5, you will need to pick up a charge slip in the office. You will still be allowed to receive a meal, but you will need the charge slip before you will be able to pick up your food. Any student who needs a Free/Reduced Lunch application form, we have extra forms in the office.

If you are a student who is bringing your own computer to school this year, please register your device as soon as possible. To register your device visit the Forbush High School website, hover over students and select, Register Your Device. This step is essential in being able to help you solve issues that may come up with your device throughout the year.

This Friday, September 1, is Picture Day for students in grades 9-11. Students will have their pictures taken in the auditorium.
