Important Parent Survey!
If you have not had the opportunity to take this important parent survey, please take a moment to complete it today! The survey can be accessed by logging in to your Parent Portal Account. The survey should automatically pop up on your screen; however, make sure your pop up blocker is disabled if you do not see the survey when you log in. If you do not have a Parent Portal account, you may visit our front office to complete a Parent Portal form, along with showing a valid ID, and we will get you signed up for an account. When you've answered all the questions, please be sure to click "Submit Survey" at the bottom for your confidential answers to be recorded. We appreciate your support in helping us improve Five Forks Middle School!

Important!
Please remember that students should NOT be dropped off prior to 8:15 am on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings. The gym is not open for study hall, and we do not have staff to monitor students during this time.
The ONLY days that drop off is permitted at 8:00 am is on our two help session days, Wednesday and Thursday.
Again, please do not let your child out of your car prior to 8:15 am on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
We appreciate your support.
