Senior Spring Spotlights

In the midst of this worldwide health crisis, our hearts are heavy for our Seniors who are missing out on so many spring activities and events this year. We want to recognize these students as best we can. So, beginning tomorrow, Monday, April 20, we will begin showcasing our Seniors whose spring extra-curricular activities—including clubs, concerts, and athletics—have been postponed or cancelled due to the current health crisis. We will be highlighting almost 100 seniors who were or would have been involved in spring activities, spotlighting 3 or 4 a day for the next several weeks. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram so you don’t miss any of our Senior Spring Spotlights!

Remote Learning

As a reminder to all students, please continue to check your email daily and continue working on assignments at home. If you have questions, please reach out to your teacher by email. Students in grades 9, 10, and 11 are still receiving grades for assignments, so if you have fallen behind on your work, please try to get caught back up as quickly as possible. If you are having difficulty or need assistance, please email your teacher. As always, you are welcome to email me, Mrs. Dinkins, or Mrs. Huggins as well if you ever have any questions or concerns.

For students completing work packets, completed assignments can be dropped off and picked up at the school anytime between 8:30 and 3:30. Additionally, work will be delivered to students on Tuesdays and picked up on Thursdays. Students, please have assignments complete and ready to turn in by Thursday morning so that these assignments can be taken back to the school.

That is all for this evening. As a reminder, be sure to follow Forbush High School on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram for announcements and updates. Also, please feel free to contact me anytime if you ever have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time this evening, goodnight.
