Principal's Message - 8/19/18

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.

First Day for Students
I want to thank everyone who visited us last week for Open House and Freshmen Orientation. As a reminder, the first day for students is tomorrow, Monday, August 20. All students will report to their homeroom class to start the school day tomorrow. Homeroom teachers will provide students with a variety of information to start the school year.

Chromebook Paperwork
Students and parents, if you have not completed the paperwork for your chromebook, we are offering three makeup days this week. Parents may come by the school to complete chromebook paperwork tomorrow, Monday, August 20, from 9am to 11am and from 1pm to 3pm. Also, you may come by on Tuesday, August 21, from 4pm to 6:30pm, or on Thursday, August 23, from 4pm to 6:30pm. Please check in at the main office, then go to the media center to complete the paperwork. As a reminder, chromebook paperwork has to be signed by a parent or guardian.

Schedule Change Requests
Students, if you have a question regarding your schedule or if you would like to request a change to one of your classes, please complete a “schedule change request” form in the Counseling office. Only schedule change requests related to legitimate extenuating circumstances will be considered, and all schedule change requests must be submitted by Wednesday.

Campus Safety
As superintendent Dr. Martin mentioned in his phone message last Thursday, we will have some new security measures in place tomorrow as students return to school. A security monitor will be on duty throughout the school day to help improve campus security and keep our students safe. When the school day begins, the front gate at the stoplight will be locked and visitors will be asked to check in with the security monitor at the main visitors’ entrance. Additionally, our security monitors will help observe the parking lot to help maintain student safety and security. While we know this may take a little to get used to, we believe these new measures will help keep our campus even safer for our students, staff, and guests.

Home Athletic Events
Monday: Volleyball v. North Iredell and Women’s Tennis v South Stokes
Tuesday: Men’s Soccer v. RJ Reynolds
Thursday: Volleyball v. West Wilkes and JV Football v. North Iredell

That is all for this evening. As always, if you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or email me anytime. Also, please be sure to check out our web site and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for daily updates. Thank you for your time this evening, goodnight.
