Stronger Schools Start with Your Voice! Share your input on our Districtwide Survey. Survey open October 6th-21st.
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
Principal

Attention J.E.F. Pre-K and Kindergarten Parents! Please join us on Monday, August 11th for a Boohoo Breakfast as we send our little ones off to school. Breakfast will be served promptly from 8am-9am in the Multipurpose room, located at John E. Ford. See you then!
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!

Please note that all classroom supplies will be used as community supplies and shared among all students throughout the school year. To help us ensure that everyone has equal access to the materials they need, we kindly ask that you do not label supplies with your child’s name.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to create a collaborative and caring classroom environment!
