Principal's Message - 8/18/19

Good evening, this is Dr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

To begin, I would like to thank everyone for a great first week of school. Overall, we have had a smooth start to the year. Students, as a reminder, we will be using our normal bell schedule moving forward.

Forbush Social Media Accounts

Forbush High School is now using Instagram, as well as Facebook and Twitter, to communicate announcements and updates each week. If you are not already, please follow us on one or more of those platforms so you can stay up-to-date on everything that is happening at FHS.

Chromebook Lease Paperwork

Students and parents, if you have not yet completed your Chromebook lease paperwork, please visit our Media Center between 8am and 3:30pm next week. Teachers will begin using Canvas on student chromebooks this week, so it is very important that all students have access to their chromebooks as soon as possible. Students may fall behind on some of their assignments if chromebook lease paperwork is not completed this week.

Student Parking Permits

As a reminder, student parking passes are now on sale for all students. Please see Mrs. Dinkins in the office to complete all necessary paperwork to receive your parking permit. All current and past fees and all student debt must be paid before students will receive their parking pass. Student drivers, if you do not yet have a parking permit, be sure to purchase one by the end of the day tomorrow (Monday, August 19). Administration will begin issuing parking tickets this week for vehicles without parking passes. Detailed information regarding student parking passes can be found near the bottom of the Forbush High School home page under “Latest News.”
