A Message from Mrs. Douthart
FFMS Digital Learning Pick Up/Return Items Plan
Dear Five Forks Families,
During the week of May 18th, students will be allowed to return to gather items from their lockers and return school-owned items, etc. We have created a process that will reflect social distancing guidelines and will minimize contact while keeping everything orderly and moving.
For convenience and safety, we have already removed all items from lockers, desks, etc. We have placed each students’ belongings in a bag labeled with their name. On the designated day, and at the assigned time, you will be permitted for a drive-by pick up/return of school materials. If you come at a different time, your child’s belongings will not be at the front of the school for pick up.
Please come on your assigned day at your assigned time.
**If you are unable to come on the assigned day/time, we will communicate additional pick up times for the week of May 25th**
Please help us by following the directions below:
1. Prior to coming to the school, please write your child’s full name (last name, first name) on a piece of paper in bold marker and place the sign where it is visible through your vehicle’s windshield. (Use template example provided.)
2. Directions for arrival to campus:
a. Enter at the school’s main entrance (not the traffic light)
b. At the top of the driveway, a staff member will direct you to turn left into the lanes at the front of the school. The middle lane will remain open, and you will be directed to pull up to the next staff member. Please keep moving until you are asked to stop.
3. Once cars have stopped moving, please place your car in park and pop the back trunk—or unlock the back door.
4. FFMS staff will retrieve student belongings from under the front portico and place them in the trunk/hatch of the car or back seat. Additionally, if your child has items that need to be returned to the school – Library books, instruments, Chromebooks, etc.—please place those in the trunk or back seat for us to pick up.
5. For the safety of our staff members, please remain parked until we release the lanes.
6. Parents who plan to pick up medication from the clinic will be directed into the side parking lot by the gym to meet with staff who will return medication adhering to GCPS procedures in which parents will have to show their identification and sign for the medication. Ms. Johnson is reaching out to parents whose children this impacts.
