Principal's Message
Ford Families,
As we approach the end of the year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible efforts and accomplishments of our school community so far this school year. December is a time for reflection, celebration, and looking forward to new opportunities. It has been wonderful to see our students grow academically, socially, and personally.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. Thank you for being a part of our school community, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together in the New Year!

Counselor's Corner
How are we at December all ready?? This year is flying by! While many of our families are able to spend time relaxing and enjoying the holidays, many others are finding themselves facing stress and hardship. As we wind down the last 3 weeks, we recognize that these stresses can impact our students as well. Remember that our school and district has supports in place for families. The Family Resource Center at the district office and Communities in Schools at Ford Middle School have a variety of resources for families. For all families, we wish you a safe and peaceful winter break.
