It takes less than 10 minutes to fill out (online: census.nv.gov; by phone: Eng: 844.330.2020/ Spanish: (844) 468.2020; or by mail) and ensures our community and state receive our fair share of federal funding ($20,000 per Nevadan)!

French Ford Middle School -
The week of May 26-28th we are going to be handing back student materials as well as collecting all school owned materials that students have borrowed during the school closure. These items include, but are not limited to Chromebooks, library books, class books, Inc Books, band instruments, books from the FFMS library checked out before the closure, etc... The times for this great exchange will be: Tuesday, May 26th through Thursday, May 28th - 9am - 7pm We ask that you pull in on Great Basin and drive to where there is a table set up with staff to greet you and give you instructions. When you leave we ask that you continue down Great Basin and either remain on Great Basin leaving the school or turning on Palisade. We ask that you do not do a U-turn. A few things to keep in mind as you are coming to the school. 1. Please make sure that if you have a Chromebook it is charged and turned on so that staff can quickly check it. 2. Please make sure that you remain in your vehicle at all times and allow school staff to assist you. 3. Please make sure that you know the student's homeroom teacher. If you have any questions, please call our office at 623-8200 between 10:00 am-1:00 pm.
