A Message from Mrs. Douthart
Principal, Five Forks Middle School
Dear Five Forks Family,
Today we begin Digital Learning Days. Because our teachers and students regularly use the e-Class platform for instruction, we anticipate that they will be familiar and comfortable with this type of learning. We know that things will not be perfect—connectivity may be difficult at times, you may experience slow internet speeds, sharing technology with many learners in households may be an issue, and other obstacles may arise, but the staff of FFMS will do our very best to support our students! I ask that you be patient and understanding with our staff and reach out directly to them first should you experience any issues where you or your child need help.
Please remind your students that it will take them partnering with their teachers to make the most of this upcoming week. Help them set their own goals for work time, brain breaks, and checking in with friends. Encourage them to be proactive in letting their teachers know if they need support—or to let you know so you can reach out. Their teachers want them to be as successful as possible during this time!
We truly have the very best school—let’s use this time to be our very best for our students and partner together to continue to shine!
Sincerely,
Christine Douthart
Proud Principal, Five Forks MS
