Curriculum Nights!
We are excited to have you join us for our Curriculum Nights next week. For our sixth grade parents, your evening will be from 6:00pm-7:30pm on Tuesday, August 20th. Our seventh and eighth grade parents will join us on Thursday, August 22nd from 6:00pm-7:30pm. The evening will begin in your child’s homeroom. From there, you will follow your child’s schedule so that you can meet the academic teachers. It’s a great way to get a glimpse into what your child’s day is like at Five Forks.
You will also have an opportunity to hear from our PTSA President, Sherrilynn Hill, on both nights, but the vote for the budget will officially take place on Thursday evening. For those 6th grade parents/PTSA members who wish to take part in the meeting/vote, please join us at 6pm in the Media Center on Thursday, August 22nd.
As always, parking will be tight at Five Forks. Please plan to limit the number of cars on campus by riding with another family member, and if you are able to carpool with a friend…that’s even better! If the weather permits, we will have overflow parking on the field; however, if the field is not suitable, we will work to accommodate cars in every available space possible. We will have additional staff helping direct traffic on these evenings. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make this a great night for everyone.
Again, thank you for coming out to meet your child’s teachers and learn about how we will support them and partner with you for the upcoming year!
Sincerely,
Christine Douthart, Principal

We also collect and recycle any size, any brand of dried-out/used markers. The Crayola Company has a wonderful recycling program and will even pay for shipping to their recycling facility. Just bring them to the front office and leave them for our amazing Art Teacher, Ms. Birmingham. Thanks for helping out!
