Thanksgiving Break Information

Travel

Students are required to be off campus for the Thanksgiving Break by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 21st. Boarding students are expected to return to campus on Monday, December 2nd, after 1:00 p.m. Day students are not required to be on campus on Monday and may return to campus for the start of classes on Tuesday, December 3rd. All travel plans must be submitted to Orah. Please contact Amanda Bender P'27, Assistant to the Assistant Head of School, at amanda.bender@formanschool.org if you have travel questions.

Medication Reminder

The Student Health Center will not accept medication from outside pharmacies upon return from the Thanksgiving Break unless alternative arrangements have already been made with the Student Health Center. Please do not have any medication filled in a large quantity (as in a 90-day supply) for your child over the break. For proper packaging and dispensing, all medications must go through Petricone’s Pharmacy. If you are in the middle of a current prescription, please call your insurance provider to request an additional refill be sent to our pharmacy for filling or pay out of pocket for a partial supply.

Dress Code Policy

2024-2025 Dress Code Policy


Please note the following changes: 

  • No more Formal Friday dress: We will only require formal dress on Mondays and special occasions, like the Academic Awards Ceremony and Commencement.

  • Forman Spirit Options: For our Tuesday through Friday class dress, students will be allowed to wear Forman sweatshirts in good repair (hoodies included) during the academic day. We will be providing more Forman polos and button-downs in the School Store, and some of our online stores (like Tommy Hilfiger) will have the option to add Forman crests to some clothing, like quarter-zips.

  • Cardigans and Blazers with Dresses: Students who choose to wear dresses will only need to wear a blazer or a cardigan if their dress is sleeveless.

  • Baseball Caps: While baseball caps still may not be worn during the academic day, they may be worn in the Dining Hall after school.

If you have any questions, please contact Matthew Bender P'27, Dean of Students, at matthew.bender@formanschool.org or 860.567.1836.

Community Service Requirement

As a part of our commitment to fostering a culture of service and civic engagement, every student is required to complete a minimum of 15 community service hours per academic year. Please note that these hours do not include any disciplinary or National Honor Society (NHS) hours.

It is crucial that all students complete their required community service hours by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in the doubling of required hours for the following year. We believe this policy encourages accountability and reinforces the importance of active participation in community service endeavors.

If you or your child are looking for opportunities to complete the required community service hours during breaks, please consider reaching out to local nonprofits or community organizations.

2024-25 Holiday Leave Shuttle Schedule

The Deans’ Office oversees travel to and from Forman during vacation times and the closing of school. Forman offers complimentary transportation buses to Bradley International Airport and the Bridgeport Metro-North Train Station on the day of travel. We offer one, sometimes two, drop-off and pick-up times at these designated locations. If the drop-off or pick-up times do not accommodate your needs, please contact a livery service directly (see list below) to make private arrangements. Students who plan to use the school transportation program must sign up through the Orah program. 

Please contact amanda.bender@formanschool.org for more information.
