Visits by peers/friends will not be permitted during the instructional day. All parents and other visitors must report to the office to sign in. Lunch Information While we welcome family at Forbush, Federal law mandates that there should be no “take-out” food or delivery to students during lunch. Students are allowed to bring their lunch from home in traditional lunchboxes or bags. Students are to remain in the cafeteria and courtyard area during lunches. IF our courtyard area is found “messy” or un-kept, students will not be allowed to eat outside. The buildings will be closed at this time due to the classes that are taking place during lunch. Locker needs should be met between classes or during the Recovery Period. Lockers Students are allowed at their lockers with a teacher pass or between classes only. Locks are to remain on the locker at all times. Your homeroom teacher will assign you a locker and lock for the year. Cell Phones Cell phones are allowed on campus and can be used at breaks and during lunch. THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED DURING THE CLASS-
