Principal's Message - 10/7/18

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.

Homecoming Events This Week

We have a lot of events scheduled this week for Homecoming. Our annual Powderpuff football game will be held tomorrow, Monday, October 8, beginning at 6:30 in the football stadium. Admission is only two dollars.

Each day this week has a designated theme as we celebrate Homecoming Spirit Week. Monday is PJ Day, Tuesday is Twin or Triplet Day, Wednesday is Character Day, Thursday is Nerd Day, and Friday is Pretty in Pink or Homecoming Shirt Day.

This year’s Homecoming Dance will be held on Saturday, October 13, in the Forbush Gym from 7pm to 10pm.

Parent Portal

Parents, if you do not have access to the Parent Portal to see your child’s grades, please give us a call and ask to speak with our Data Manager, Cheryl Hutchens. We can provide the information you need to set up an account so that you can view your child’s grades from a computer or a smartphone.

Reminder for Seniors and Parents

Be sure to sign up through “Remind” to receive text message alerts with important senior information. A full list of instructions can be found on the Graduation Central page under the “Parents” menu on the Forbush Website. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Hutchens.

Yearbooks are back on sale this week. The cost is $60 and yearbooks will be sold during lunch in the A-Building lobby. You can put down a deposit of $30. Don’t wait, the price will go up!

Any student who is enrolled in the Spring Musical Class next semester is invited to attend an interest meeting for the New York Trip on October 8 at 6:30pm in room 706-H. We will be discussing payment plans, fundraisers, and the trip itinerary.
