Principal's Message - 8/25/19

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.

Dismissal Procedures

Since we have just started a new school year, I want to remind our parents and students about a couple procedures related to dismissal at the end of the school day.

First, due to increased traffic for our car riders this year, we are asking all car riders to stand between the walkway outside of E-Building and the walkway outside of H-Building when being picked up in the afternoon. We are asking that parents who are picking up their children drive all the way down to the walkway in front of H instead of picking up students at the rock near the field house. Driving all the way down this side road in front of B and H buildings will help keep traffic from getting back up on Falcon Road, thereby making dismissal safer for all students and parents.

Second, I want to remind all parents and students that bus riders who are getting off at a different stop must provide a signed parent note to the office that morning. Office staff will verify the note and return it to the student to give to the bus driver. Thank you in advance for your attention to these procedures.
