Districtwide Survey
Dear Ford Families,

Beginning Monday, October 6 through Tuesday, October 21, our school, along with the District, will participate in the Data Triangle Survey. This survey gives families, students, staff, and community members a chance to share feedback that helps us improve and better support every student.

Before the survey begins, we encourage you to visit www.duvalschools.org/survey to preview the survey questions. There are tailored surveys for families, students, staff, and community members. You can also review the student opt-out form. If you prefer your child not to participate, you may complete and submit this form in the parent/guardian FOCUS account.

Your input makes a difference. Thank you for partnering with us to strengthen our school community.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Tina

Good evening,

Due to unforeseen contracting issues, bus services for certain schools, including ours, may experience delays on the morning of August 19th, 2025. To help ensure students arrive at school on time, parents are strongly encouraged to make alternative transportation arrangements.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are working diligently to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding and partnership in supporting the safe and timely arrival of all students.

Welcome to Orientation day for elementary! It was so great to see our middle school families yesterday and today we welcome our elementary friends. We look forward to greeting you at the front gates. There will be staff available there to help you find your child's classroom if you don't know where to go. You are welcome to bring supplies in today as well. Please make sure your child's teacher knows how your child will get home so we have a complete dismissal plan for Monday. Also, make sure you stop by the multi-purpose room where you can meet our PTA, pay for tuition (if you have a PK student) and get free school supplies from St. Stephens Church, our community partner. We look forward to seeing you soon!
