8th Grade Parent Night

Our annual 8th Grade Parent Night is scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, February 12. This will be a floating event from 5:00 to 6:30. Rising freshmen and their parents are welcome to visit during that time frame and meet our teachers, learn more about our course and program offerings, and become more familiar with our campus.

ACT Prep for Juniors

Juniors, be sure to check your email for information about test prep materials for the ACT. Several websites have been shared with you that can help you raise your ACT score, which all juniors will take on February 27.

In preparation for the ACT, juniors are invited to sign up for a free, one-day ACT Boot Camp here at Forbush on Tuesday, February 20. This session will be led by a professional test prep trainer from MasteryPrep. Lunch and snacks will be provided, but we have a limited number of spots, so sign up this week in the office before it is too late!
