We have had students who are using Smart watches during the day. Here is a gentle reminder of Cd'A District Policy: Students in Grades K-5

Students in grades K-5 may elect to participate in the Coeur d’Alene School District Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Grade K-5 students may possess PEDs in school, on school property, during after-school activities (e.g. extra-curricular activities) and at school-related functions, provided that during school hours the PEDs are powered completely off (i.e., not just placed into vibrate/silent mode) and not on their person (i.e., placed in a backpack or locker) unless being used for a specific educational purpose with teacher permission. Students may not use PEDs outside the classroom during lunch or in hallways during school hours.

We would love to have a volunteer help us with laminating once a week. Email sandy.doering@cdaschools.org. Thank you!

We love our Fernan families! If you come into the building, district policy requires that we scan your identification. Thank you for keeping our children safe!
