Principal News!
Hello Five Forks Families,
We are so thankful to continue to bring students back to our school. We've had some really great days, and we know that it will only get better!
Just a reminder that on the GCPS survey where you selected digital learning or in-person learning, you were asked to make the commitment for the semester. At this time, we have worked hard to ensure that those students who selected in-person learning are placed in classrooms which allow us to maximize space and support social distancing and reduced class sizes. When parents want to make changes, this greatly impacts our ability to maintain classrooms with lower numbers of students. With that being said, for those who have chosen in-person learning, we are counting on your child to be here every day. Students will not be allowed to go digital for any reason that has not been approved by an administrator. Our teachers are working so very hard to support students and your help with these matters is greatly appreciated.
I am so incredibly happy to serve the wonderful students and staff of Five Forks!
I appreciate your support!
Christine Douthart
