A Message from Mrs. Douthart
Principal, Five Forks Middle School
Dear Five Forks Families,
It's hard to believe that we have been working in this digital learning environment for five weeks! I want to tell you how much I appreciate your support of our teachers as they continue to keep teaching and learning on track!
As we rapidly approach the end of the school year, there are a number of things that I wanted to share with you:
- We are still under orders from Governor Kemp to continue our distance learning. With that said, we know that many of you are eager to get into the building to pick up your child's belongings. We are awaiting direction from GCPS before we make those plans--but please know that we are working hard to make the process as smooth as possible once we are given permission.
- Please check your child's grades. If you see an "NTI" in the grade book, that is letting you know that the work was "not turned in" and currently counts as a zero. Please encourage your child to do everything in their power to have all NTI's completed by May 7th--which is the week before final exams. The FLEX FRIDAYS are an excellent time for students to get caught up on those missing assignments and to reach out to the teacher for additional help.
- Final Exam dates have been shared on our social media accounts; however, I will share them again here:
- Monday, May 11th--Connections A and B
- Tuesday, May 12th--Language Arts
- Wednesday, May 13th--Science
- Thursday, May 14th--Social Studies
- Friday, May 15th--Math
- Monday, May 18th--Biology
- Reminder--Final Exams will be thoroughly discussed with your children so that they are ready for them. Additionally, students will have access to their notes and assignments that have been part of their learning experience before and during DLD. Please make sure that your child identifies an area in the house that will allow them to concentrate on the test so that they can do their best.
- You may not know this, but Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4th -8th. We will celebrate them here, but a kind word/note from you or your child would certainly brighten their day!
