NEW DISTRICT POLICY FOR FIELD TRIP CHAPERONES
This serves as a reminder that the district has a new policy that all drivers on field trips need to be finger printed and cleared. Volunteers only have to go through this process one time (not every year) and it works for all district schools.
Buses are really expensive so we rely on parent drivers and chaperones to keep costs down. If we want to continue to have as many field trips for our kids, drivers will have to go through this process. Many thanks for all who are willing to do this for our kids!
Connect with other Parents

All parents & caretakers are invited to join their classrooms’ group chats to stay in touch with others in their classroom through text, email, or the Remind app. You choose! It’s so handy for playdates, missed assignments, field trips, etc.
Text @fordinfo to the number 81010 or click remind.com/join/fordinfo and then message the PTA for further instructions.
DIRECT DONATION DRIVE
Our school relies on contributions from families like yours to pay for programs that enrich the learning experience for all Henry Ford Mustangs. For the 2017-18 academic year, a full student contribution is $200. While we prefer a full annual contribution, any amount is gratefully accepted. We also have a new monthly installments program at http://henryfordpta.org/donate/
