Today we celebrate Parents as Teachers Day! 👶💙
Our Parents as Teachers (PAT) program at the Fordland Early Childhood Center provides families with valuable support during their child’s earliest years, helping little learners grow, explore, and thrive.

We’re proud to have Mrs. J leading our PAT program with care, creativity, and dedication to our youngest Eagles and their families. 💛

Families - please take note of our new technology policy.

Celebrating a Combined 70 Years of Dedication! Last week, we bid farewell to three amazing members of our school family as they entered a well-deserved retirement. Each one has touched the hearts (and filled the bellies!) of students and staff. Mary Morris – Our beloved Music and Art teacher has spent the last 13 years inspiring creativity and filling our halls with melody and color. From glitter-covered masterpieces to unforgettable choir performances, Mrs. Morris has made the arts come alive for so many students! Gaila McNish – With 28 years of service as our dedicated Food Services Director and cook, Ms. Gaila has served up not just nutritious meals, but warmth, care, and a welcoming smile to everyone who walked through the cafeteria doors. Her legacy of love through food will live on. Janie King – For 29 years, she has been a constant, comforting presence in our elementary kitchen. Her kindness, hard work, and steady devotion to our students have made her a true hero behind the scenes. To Mary, Gaila, and Janie — thank you for your years of love, laughter, and service. You’ve made a lasting impact, and you will be dearly missed. Happy Retirement!

Congrats to our 2025 Years of Service recipients! Jenny Blaine-10 years Sam Waterman-10 years Josh Smith-20 years Diane Pierce-30 years

Tomorrow is the first day of summer school. Elementary hours are 8-3 and MS/HS hours are 7:55-2:55. Modified bus routes will be running but if our drivers encounter roads or bridges that are impassable, we will attempt to call affected families. Thank you for your patience on the first day!

Can't wait to see you there!

Congratulations to Mary Morris on her well-earned retirement from the Fordland School District! We’re thankful for her years of dedication and the positive impact she’s had on our students and school community.

Congratulations to Janie King on her well-deserved retirement from the Fordland School District! We appreciate her years of commitment, and care.
