Welcome Back Ford Families,
Welcome back to a fantastic new school year! As we kick off September, we are excited to embrace the vibrant start of Hispanic Heritage Month. This is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to celebrate and learn about the rich cultures and contributions of Hispanic Americans. We are also thrilled to invite you to our Back to School Night on September 19th from 5:30pm-7:00pm. This event will be a great opportunity to meet teachers, explore classroom activities, and get a glimpse of what’s in store for the year ahead.
We look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and enriching experiences for our students. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we make this year truly exceptional.

Welcome Assistant Principal Kelsi Bortoluzzi!
Dear Ford Families,
I am excited to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal! I have spent the past 16 years working in education and am eager to build relationships with each of you. Outside of school, I love watching my son play baseball, traveling, shopping, and hitting the gym. I am looking forward to having a fantastic school year together. I strongly believe in a partnership between home and school to make each child's educational experience a positive one.

Counselor's Corner
Welcome back to school! We are so excited to see everyone and reconnect! Transitions can be challenging, and we will all be working hard to help all students get back into ‘school mode’. Always remember the importance of these middle school years, as they set the stage for high school success. Starting off strong with good sleep, solid attendance and good study habits will set the course for success. Feel free to reach out to your student’s teachers and counselors with any questions.
