Principal's Message - 3/29/20

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.

Message for Students

As we move into our second full week of “remote learning,” I want to thank all of the students for their hard work so far. Most students have been actively completing assignments over the course of the week. Please keep up the hard work! Students, if you are not staying on top of your assignments, please get to work this week so you do not fall behind. Additionally, it is very important that students check their emails daily to stay up-to-date on announcements and information from their teachers.

Message for Parents

Parents, thank you for your support and your flexibility during this time. As I mentioned last week, communication is key during this time of remote learning. 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, Mrs. Dinkins, or Mrs. Huggins directly.

Events and Activities

I want to give everyone a few updates about specific events or activities that have been postponed or cancelled:

As most know by now, no in-person, on-campus classes are allowed at any North Carolina public school through May 15. As of now, we plan to resume in-person, on-campus classes on May 18, pending a new order from the state government.

All campus events scheduled from now through May 15 have been postponed or cancelled. Additionally, all events scheduled AFTER May 15, including Prom and Commencement, are still on as scheduled.

Unfortunately, our Spring Musical has been cancelled for this year and will not be rescheduled.

Please be sure to follow our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram) for updates and additional information should any other events be cancelled, postponed, or 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.
