From The Principal . . . Dear Parents and Friends of Henry Ford II:
As we begin final preparation for the 2016-2017 school year to end, please
take the time to reflect with your student. Did he/she give 100% effort? Did
he/she accomplish everything they wanted to? Is he/she putting themselves in
position to attend the college or university of his/her choice? It is my hope
that all students are putting themselves in position to keep as many doors and
options open for them in the future. As the school year ends, let’s remain
focused on the marathon of this academic year and finish strong!
Let me be the first to congratulate our 2017 Valedictorians and Salutatorian.

Please mark May 16, 2017 as our Senior Honors Night, scheduled for 7:00
p.m. in the PAC. I am always amazed at the success of our seniors. Senior
Honors Night validates for me that hard work in high school pays off for our
students.
From the principal (continued)
OUR VISION:
All students will be college ready as measured by the College Readiness Benchmarks by the time they graduate.
Are you ready to STRIVE??

PRINCIPALS FALCON ADVISORY MEETINGS
Parents are always encouraged and welcome to join the
principal at his Falcon Advisory meetings held each
month. Hear firsthand the issues and ideas that define the
high school environment at Ford II. Meeting time is 9 am.
May 19
MISD is hosting four additional SAT Student Prep Work-
shops this winter starting after the New Year.
To register, please visit
ttp://www.solutionwhere.com/misdtraining/cw/
showcourse.asp?5198.
Our juniors are starting to see the results from the SAT/M-
Step test they took in April. I am encouraged by the early
results that students have shared. It looks like we are on
track to meet our learning goals for the year. The students I
visited with continue to tell me they felt they did well on
the test because they had challenged themselves with an AP
class. If your student is not considering taking an AP class
for next year, please consider having them take one as part
of their educational plan. If you would like to make a
schedule change please see your counselor today. Taking
an AP class will prepare students to meet the challenges of
the SAT test, and earn a score that denotes they are college
ready and catapult them into the college of their dreams.
For those of you who post calendar dates on the refrigerator
like we do at our home, here are key dates for the remainder
of the year:

May is a month of celebration. We are honoring our sen-

your student’s successes. As we move into the summer, set
goals with your students to make the next academic year
