Principal's Message - 5/3/20

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.

Important Dates

I want to begin this evening by sharing a few important dates with everyone as we begin the process of closing down the school year. Teachers will continue to post new assignments for the next two weeks. However, no new assignments will be posted by teachers after Friday, May 15. All students will have the week of May 18 through May 22 to complete any missing assignments to improve their 4th quarter grade.

Grading Options for Freshmen, Sophomores, & Juniors

As I mentioned last week, the State Board of Education passed a policy with regards to grading options for students in grades 9, 10, and 11. All teachers have emailed parents and students with detailed information about those grading options. Parents, if you have not already done so, please let your child’s teachers know what grading options you will be choosing for each class. If you have questions about the grading options, feel free to email your child’s teacher. You may also call or email me if you have any questions or need assistance.

Prom

The following announcement is in regards to Prom. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions in place caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our 2020 Prom has been cancelled.

Yearbooks

The following is an update in regards to yearbooks. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the plant that produces our yearbook has been temporarily shut down. However, when the books are printed and shipped, we will let you know the game plan to pick up your book. Currently we are looking at the books being shipped in June, though that is subject to change due to the current circumstances. You can check to see if you have pre-ordered a yearbook at yearbookordercenter.com or by emailing our Yearbook coordinator, Mrs. Dorman.

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.
