Principal's Message - 5/5/19

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.

Ten Instructional Days Remaining
Students and parents, we have only 10 instructional days remaining in this school year. Students, please be sure to check your grades and complete any assignments you are missing. Also, please visit your teachers during their morning office hours if you need any additional help in any of your classes. Spring semester exams begin May 20.

Exams Begin May 20
Details regarding the Spring Semester Exam Schedule can be found on our website near the bottom of the home page under “Latest News.” As we have done in the past, First Period exams will be given on Monday, May 20, Second Period exams will be given on Tuesday, Third Period exams will be given on Wednesday, and Fourth Period exams will be given on Thursday. Friday, May 24, will be used as an Exam Make-up Day, so students will only need to attend school that day if they need to make up an exam that they missed earlier in the week. Once again, details regarding the Spring Semester Exam Schedule can be found on our website near the bottom of the home page under “Latest News,” but feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

Student Accomplishments
Congratulations to Zach Morris, Alesha Milholand, and Zeke Matthews, all of whom will be representing Forbush High School at the Skills USA National Competition this summer in Louisville, Kentucky. These three students have the opportunity to win a lot of scholarship money, so we wish them the best of luck at the National Competition in June. Also, congratulations to our Skills advisor, Mr. Keith Senter.
