Our student safety is priority #1! If you are picking up your student and have parked by the buses, please model using the crosswalk for our children. We have had some close calls with parents and students not using the crosswalk. We have noticed that our car pick up line is getting safer, so thank you! Our transportation department is strict about safety, and we thank you for helping us follow through on keeping our Fernan families safe.

Spiders may be creepy crawlies, but they are also master engineers. Similarly, making spider webs out of yarn is more than a fun art activity to do during Halloween. It gives you a chance to talk about these remarkable animals, their silk, and geometrical webs before your students get a chance to create their own designs. Encourage them to be inventive: no two spider webs in nature are the same, so their webs shouldn’t be the same either!

Please send items with your child to school, or drop off in the office.

We'd love some snacks for our office, sensory room and counseling office. If you'd like to donate, please drop them off at the office. Examples include graham crackers, goldfish, pretzels, saltines, and granola bars. Our student stomachs thank you!
