This is a very unique and unprecedented time in our nation’s history. Our daily lives have been remarkably disrupted by the coronavirus and many of us have been left with more questions than answers. However, in the midst of all the uncertainty, it makes me proud to see how much our community has come together to support one another.
I want to thank all our Forbush parents for their patience and flexibility as teachers have been working diligently to upload assignments and coursework into Canvas for students to complete. I also want to thank all of our teachers and staff members who have worked very hard to make sure our students continue to make academic progress. As we continue to utilize digital remote learning, it is important that students check their school emails daily and stay up-to-date on all assignments in Canvas.
Communication is key during this time. While many teachers will be working from home while classes are not meeting on campus, teachers will continue to email students and call parents often. Teachers will be readily available between 10am and 2pm each day to quickly respond to emails and phone calls. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call the school or email me directly.
Also, don’t forget that Yadkin County Schools have meals available for children 18 years and younger for pickup at all of the local elementary schools and at Forbush Middle School. Please call the school nearest your location for more information or if you need a meal delivered to your home.
I want to give everyone a few updates about specific events or activities that have been postponed or cancelled:
Seniors, cap and gown delivery has been postponed. Caps and gowns will not be delivered on March 27. As soon as we have a new date, we will communicate that via Remind, social media, and with a phone message. Seniors, please be sure you sign up on Remind for updates (text “@20falcons” to 81010).
The Hunter Safety Banquet that was scheduled for April 4 has been postponed until further notice.
Prom has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 23 at Bermuda Run Country Club.
As of now, all other events scheduled AFTER April 10, including our Spring Theatre performance and Commencement ceremonies, are still on as scheduled. However, please be sure to follow our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram) for updates and additional information should any other events need to be rescheduled.
Once again, thank you to everyone---parents, students, and Forbush staff members--for your patience, flexibility, and support during this time. Please do not hesitate to call the school or email me anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time this evening, goodnight.
