Ford Intermediate Parents:

Happy September! As we begin our journey together, we’d like to welcome you to an exciting year of learning. We hope both students and parents have begun to make adjustments to the new school year. From our perspective, we have had an exceptional start to the school year. The staff is looking forward to an exciting year ahead. At the end of the year, we will close our doors and move into our new middle level complex. In the meantime, we are committed to having a great 2017-2018 school year. We appreciate your continued support and involvement throughout the school year. I would like to thank the parents for their participation in our Sneak Peak and Curriculum evening programs.

I also want to thank everyone for their participation in our annual fall fundraiser. Your support is very much appreciated. I also encourage you to join and support the FIS PTA. The FIS PTA is the main support group of the school, and it does amazing things for our students and school.

Let’s have a great September!

Mr. Mucha

From the Principal

Message from Nutrition Services

All money and charges on a student’s cafeteria account roll forward to the 2017-18 school year. If your child receives free/reduced priced meals, the benefit will be in effect until September 29, 2017. The 2017-18 lunch application is available on the BCSD website under Nutrition Service in August.

Contacting Staff Members

Sometimes sending an email can be the most effective way to contact your child’s teachers. If you would like to contact a staff member go to www.berea.k12.oh.us click on “District” and then “Staff Directory” on the left. If you need assistance, just give us a call and we will talk you through it.

If you have not paid your 2017-18 instructional fees, login to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to view your child’s fee bill. You can pay with cash or check at school or online credit card and electronic check payments can be made through PayForIt at www.payforit.net. The internet convenience fee is $1.75 flat fee per ACH transaction and a 3.9% Credit Card transaction fee must be included.

Please join us for the first PTA meeting of the 2017/18 school year. We will be meeting in the Ford Library on Wednesday, September 13, 7:00PM. Stop by, have some snacks, hear about upcoming events for the school year! If you cannot make this meeting, all PTA meetings will be on the 2nd. Wednesday of the month; Oct 11, Nov. 8, Jan. 10 (additional dates to come). Can’t make meeting, that’s okay! Please still consider joining and show your support for Ford students, teachers, parents, families and our community as a whole! Tina Trzebuckowski, President tinatrze@yahoo.com

Abitibi Paper Recycling: This program is a simple and free service for communities to use for paper recycling. Distinctive green and yellow Paper Retriever bins are provided to encourage the community to bring its paper and put it into a convenient drop-off location. We are not charge for the bins or the pickup of paper. In fact, Paper Retriever pays us for the paper collected in each bin, which in turn benefits our students. To help us support Ford’s 5th & 6th graders, recycle the following items in the Abitibi Paper Bins in our parking lot: catalogs, magazines, newspapers, junk mail, office paper, fax paper, school papers, notebooks and folders! Visit their website for more information at www.paperetriever.com.
