Fort River Directory is ready!

Thank you for all who filled out their family information to be included in the directory this year!! 

The directory can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ASjwwQcqXHv1Qs792NR1WK050sVU0woX/view?usp=sharing (password required). We know how important it is to find ways to stay and feel connected during another Covid school year, especially if you are new to our community.  

Since we have been communicating almost only through emails, we wanted to also make sure that anyone that did want to be included  has one more opportunity. We have reopened the link to the google form through Friday, February 4, 2022.  You will find that here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhhTqDUZDIJtJhmrBNo50tZF8cltS7mwqJr1knus_CswQCew/viewform?usp=sf_link


We will send out the final copy on Sunday, February 6th.  
Thank you for being such a special part of our Fort River Community!
 
====================
 
¡Gracias a todos los que completaron la información de su familia para ser incluidos en el directorio este año! 
 
El directorio se puede encontrar aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ASjwwQcqXHv1Qs792NR1WK050sVU0woX/view?usp=sharing (se requiere contraseña). Sabemos lo importante que es encontrar formas de mantenerse y sentirse conectado durante otro año escolar de Covid, especialmente si es nuevo en nuestra comunidad. 

Dado que nos hemos estado comunicando casi solo a través de correos electrónicos, también queríamos asegurarnos de que cualquier persona que quisiera ser incluida tuviera una oportunidad más. Hemos reabierto el enlace al formulario de Google hasta el viernes 4 de febrero de 2022.  Lo encontrarás aquí:   https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhhTqDUZDIJtJhmrBNo50tZF8cltS7mwqJr1knus_CswQCew/viewform?usp=sf_link
 
Enviaremos la copia final el domingo 6 de febrero.
