Student Process Circles
Dear FFMS Students,
In the wake of recent events (including, but not limited to, issues of racism, anti-black violence, and civic unrest), we wanted to acknowledge the difficult emotions and thoughts that you may be having and that we are ready and willing to be here for you during this time, even though it is summer break. We wholeheartedly feel that our work here at Five Forks Middle School is relationship-driven work - and our relationships with each of you mean a great deal to us. In an effort to provide support, connection, and conversation with your peers, Ms. Ross, one of the FFMS counselors, will be providing a space for students to listen and share their feelings and thoughts and impact the events of racism, anti-black violence and civic unrest that have sparked for them. Our hope is this opportunity will provide a safe and brave space for our student community to process together during this time. Below are more details about when this student process circles will be held.
All processing groups will be held via google meets. For those interested in being a part of a process group please complete the form at this link: shorturl.at/svzPS
The form will ask for a student’s first and last name, which process group they would like to join and email contact to receive the google meet link. The link to the google meets will be provided via the email contact provided in the form the morning of your processing group. We ask that you do not share the link with others to protect the safe environment of the group. FFMS students interested in being a part of a group should each complete the form individually. Please note the grade level groups are for the grade level you just completed for the 2019-2020 school year.
For each meeting time, in order to ensure a safe space, students must include their first AND last names when they log in (the same name they used to complete the sign-up form), before they will be let into the group. Below are each of the groups available (please do not join a group that you are not a part of) and the date and times they will meet.
