From the Principal

Thank you to all of our parents who planned and volunteered their time for our classroom celebrations. The students had so much fun and that wouldn't have been possible without you.

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season! I hope your time is spent making memories with friends and family, and enjoying time with your children!

Have a wonderful winter break and I will see you in 2025!

Lunch & Recess Volunteers

Our parent volunteers are an integral part of our school community. Therefore, we'd love to invite you to spend time with Ferson Creek students during lunch and lunch recess.

Interested? Information and sign up can be found using this link.

Please keep in mind that it is important to keep our students, staff members, and volunteers safe while they are in our schools. Given that, all volunteers must:

Have your ID ready and sign in at the office to receive your visitor badge.
EACH YEAR complete a Volunteer Liability Form. If the school does not have one on file for you and you do not provide one, the office will provide one for you when you come for your first day as a volunteer.

If you have any questions, please contact:

Dr. DuCharm (331-228-5920, Alison.DuCharm@d303.org)
