This has been a great year at Ford. We've already begun to make plans for next year, which will be our 25th anniversary.  Our new theme will be
"25 Years and Still Growing Strong".   The first day of school will be Monday, August 25.  All of us here at Ford wish you and your family a restful summer.  Have fun and be safe.

Let the Celebration Begin

To get ready for our 25th Anniversary Celebration the PTA announces Ford Family Clean Up Day on Saturday, June 21 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM.  All Ford families, past and present are invited.  Learn more.

Moving This Summer?

If you are planning a move this summer that will take your children away from Ford or Lowery where they are registered for next year, please contact the Counselor's Office in the school where they would have gone. Our Registrar, Hope Bergin, here at Ford can be reached by phoning 972-727-0590 or emailing Hope_Bergin@allenisd.org. The phone number for Lowery is 972-396-6975.   

Expectation Nights

The first dates to add to your calendar for next fall are our annual Expectation Nights.  That's when parents and students come to school for an evening to pick up schedules, meet teachers, explore the building, find  lockers, and buy or pick up supplies.  The date for the 8th grade Expectation Night is Tuesday, August 19.   Seventh graders will come on Thursday, August 21.  The times on both evenings is from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.  See the supply list.   

How We Help Students Succeed

We encourage you to explore the "Helping Students" section of this homepage to learn about the different opportunities we provide to ensure student success.  The link at the far left of the top menu bar that says "Helping Students" will take you to a list of links to programs and opportunities to help students excel.  The same links appear at the top of the right hand menu on this page.  Our goal is for every student to experience success at Ford.

No Bullying Zone

Faculty, administration, and students at Ford are serious about stopping bullying.  Students are encouraged to report incidents to teachers and administrators.  FordNoBully@allenisd.org is an email address which has been established so that reports can be made more anonymously. Read more about it.
