A Message from Mrs. Douthart
Principal, Five Forks Middle School
Dear Parents,
The time is getting close! Get ready to hand off your children to us, and we will take great care of them!
I wanted to go ahead and send this email to remind you of several important things that you should plan to take care of these next two weeks:
1. Go on our school’s website and check out the information regarding registration, school supply lists, summer reading assignments and more! (Sign up for Bucky Connects on Facebook and Instagram…and our weekly publication “The Hitching Post.”)
2. Make sure that you visit mypaymentsplus.com to login in to an already created account or register for a new account. Once there, please be sure to sign off on all important documents, join PTA, make your contributions (We appreciate them so much!), and more! My Payments Plus opened on July 20, 2019.
3. Enjoy these last weeks with your students!
- Make time to do something fun as a family.
- Ask them what they hope to accomplish this year, and how they plan to do it.
- Encourage them to think outside of their normal friend circle and strive to make some new friends this year.
- Talk to them about your expectations for their academics and behavior.
- Remind them to be very careful of their actions on social media as sometimes this could spill over into the school realm…and that could mean consequences.
- Most importantly, tell them that you are going to support them every step of the way by partnering with us to see them through to the end!
Open House/Registration will take place on Thursday, August 1, 2019. Remember, you can find out your child’s homeroom teacher on Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at the front of the school after 5:30pm. If you do not see your child on the list, please make sure that you go directly to the Media Center when you arrive on 8/1! Here are some important reminders:
- On the day of Open House/Registration, please be patient with parking (If everyone can come during their allotted time, there should be plenty of parking!) If it’s raining and the field cannot be used, please bear with us! Remember, we will have access to the back bus parking lot on this day!
- Once you arrive at Five Forks, please go directly to your child’s homeroom. You will learn a lot about your child’s first days of school and there could be a form or two for you to complete. If you have forms or medication to drop off, you will find out where to go when you are in the homeroom.
- Before you leave, PLEASE visit the gym to meet some of our Five Forks Fathers, join PTA, purchase some amazing Five Forks spirit wear, get transportation information, lunch information, and more!
We are looking forward to partnering with you this year!
Enjoy these last few days of summer!
