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.

Fall Semester Exams

I want to begin this evening by reminding everyone that fall semester exams begin tomorrow. First period exams will be given tomorrow, second period will be given on Tuesday, third period will be given on Wednesday, and fourth period will be given on Thursday. Friday will be used as an exam make-up day. Students will be dismissed at 1:30 on Wednesday and Thursday, and at noon on Friday.

Please note, Forbush Middle School does NOT have exams next week and they are running a regular bell schedule. Students, please do not go down to the middle on the early dismissal days. Please leave campus on those days and do not disrupt the instructional time of the middle school. Please visit our web site for detailed information about fall semester exams.

I have said this many times before, but we have some very talented singers and musicians at Forbush High School.

Also, congratulations to the JROTC Rifle team for winning their recent Rifle Match at Fred T. Foard High School.
