COVID-19 Updates
As concern over the coronavirus grows in our state, Yadkin County Schools and Forbush High School have put multiple measures in place in hopes of reducing the potential spread of the disease. As you learned last night, Governor Cooper has ordered that all schools be closed for two weeks, beginning tomorrow, Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27. Additionally, as Superintendent Dr. Martin mentioned in his phone message last Friday, our school district is postponing all field trips scheduled through April 10 in hopes of limiting students’ exposure to outside groups. As April 10 approaches, the school district will re-evaluate before making a determination about field trips scheduled after April 10. The High School Athletic Association announced last week that all spring contests, workouts, and practices have been suspended until at least April 6. Additionally, Yadkin County Schools is postponing all school-sponsored after-school events and activities. This includes our Spring Blood Drive, our JROTC Military Ball, and Driver Education classes. These events have been cancelled and will be rescheduled if possible. All events scheduled after April 10, including Prom and our Spring Theatre performance, are still on as scheduled for now. Again, as April 10 approaches, the school district will re-evaluate before making a determination about events and activities scheduled after April 10. Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this hectic time. Please feel free to call the school or email me directly if you have any questions. Also, be sure to follow our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram) for updates and additional information.

To end on a positive note this evening, I would like to congratulate some of our students on their recent accomplishments:

Congratulations to the Forbush Concert Choir on receiving a Superior Rating at the State Contest last week. Our students scored a 95 out of 100. Congratulations Forbush Concert Choir!
Congratulations to Maddie Dixon, who was named North Carolina State Champion in Microsoft Excel Certiport Testing. Maddie was one of over 10,000 students across the state who took the test last year. She made a perfect score AND completed it faster than any other student who made a perfect score. Congratulations Maddie!
