Principal's Message

Ford Families,

We are excited to remind you that Student-Led Conferences will take place from October 8th to October 10th with your student’s advisory teacher. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their progress and set goals for the future. If you have not scheduled your student’s conference, please call our main office and we can assist you.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Back to School Night—it was a great success! We loved seeing so many of you there.

As a reminder, the quarter ends on November 1st, so let’s make the most of this time together!

🗣 Counselor's Corner ✍🏽

Happy Fall everyone! We can’t believe how fast the year is going by! Some things to keep in mind as we dive into October: You should be able to access your student’s grades at this time. The end of the quarter is a month away, so any missing assignments or low test scores should be addressed sooner than later.

With the days getting shorter, day light savings about to happen, it’s going to be even more important to regulate that sleep and nutrition cycle. Keep having those conversations with your kids about limiting screen time before bed, and getting a restful nights sleep. If you would like more detailed information about sleep hygiene, please reach out to your grade level counselor.
