BELL SCHEDULE
This is an important message from Forest Middle School for all parents, guardians, visitors and volunteers. Our school, along with all Bedford County school facilities, has transitioned to a new check-in and check-out system called Raptor. It is very important to know that a driver’s license scan will be required for anyone who will be checking out a student or for anyone who will be in the building as a visitor or volunteer. Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to a great year.
