Great Days of Service!
All Pro Dads!
Dads (and all Caring Adults),
You are invited to bring your middle schooler to the FFMS Cafeteria on Tuesday, October 16th, from 7:30 - 8:00 am for the next All Pro Dad meeting, which includes a free Chick-fil-A breakfast, sponsored by the Five Forks Fathers. All Pro Dad is an event where fathers can come with their children to spend quality time together, eat breakfast, learn about a special topic, speak words of affirmation over our children, and enjoy fun games! More information is available here. Please click here to RSVP. As always, your presence makes a difference! We hope to see you there!
Chorus Concert & Art Show!
We are proud to announce that members of the FFMS Chorus have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in May of 2019! Twenty-four of our students will be representing Five Forks at this once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, this opportunity comes with a significant cost, and we need your support to make this trip happen! In addition to our concession sales, there will be student artwork for sale at future concerts. Also, we would appreciate any donations from local businesses, so please consider a corporate sponsorhip of this incredibly opportunity.
We hope you'll mark your calendars and join us on the evening of the 16th!
STEAM Family Night!
Parent Conferences!

Message from Mrs. Douthart
Dear Parents,
We need your help to keep our students safe here at Five Forks by following our student drop off procedures outlined below. Please note that students should ONLY be dropped off at the front of the building after 9:20am. They are considered tardy at that time and will need to come in and check in at the front office. Parents do not need to escort their students into the building for tardies or after appointments.
Monday, Tuesday, and Friday
Drop off in the morning is at 8:15am on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. All students, regardless of why they are here at Five Forks, must be dropped off at the back of the building by the gym. Please do not drop off students prior to 8:15am on these days as there is no adult supervision prior to that time.
Wednesday and Thursday (Help Session Days)
On Help Session Days, Wednesdays and Thursdays, you may drop your students off starting at 8:00am at the back of the building near the gym. Again, please do not drop students off prior to 8:00am on these Help Session Days as there is no adult supervision prior to that time.
I would like to reiterate that all students who are here before school must be dropped off at the back of the building. This includes students here for Help Sessions, reassessments, clubs, etc. You do not need to walk your student in—just pull up to the back of the building and drop them off near the blacktop by the gym. Please do not drop students off prior to the times listed above.
Another helpful hint to assist with drop offs, please move all the way to end of the line prior to stopping and letting your child out of the car. This allows us to unload as many cars at one time as possible and assists us in keeping students from dodging in between moving cars. Always follow the direction of our dedicated staff!
We appreciate your support in this matter and look forward to having smooth and safe drop offs here at Five Forks Middle School.
Sincerely,
Christine Douthart
Principal, Five Forks MS
