In celebration of Read Across America Week, grandparents of one child in each class (TK-5th grades)were guest readers during library visits last week. Seeing the multi-generational connection and personal touch of each visiting grandparent was incredibly special. We had 12 grandparents visit ten library classes. Here's pictures of a few.

On Friday, September 30th, Ferndale students, grandparents, and special guests attended our annual Grandparents tea. The Grandparents tea has been a tradition for 30 years. The Grandparents tea is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about how things have changed for students as times has passed. For many third graders, this is one of their favorite memory's from the school year. Special Thanks to Theresa Drakos for beginning the tradition of celebrating grandparents many years ago! Thank you to David Griffith and his group of fellow Veteran's for allowing us to use the Ferndale Veteran's Hall. Thank you to all the wonderful substitute grandparents. Thank you to the parents for the delicious treats, setting up the hall, and for the beautiful photos. Thank you Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Maxon for all of your hard work.

Starting Monday, September 12th, all Kindergarten to 3rd grade students will be dismissed in the front of the school on Shaw Avenue. You will no longer be able to pick your child up in the Ocean Avenue lot (the back of the school). This procedure was used for years before the pandemic, and creates a safer dismissal for your child. We understand that many parents have never experienced this dismissal, so we are listing our safety procedures and expectations below. Please FULLY park your car and meet your child in front of the gym. They will be seated with their teachers. When your child sees you, they will tell their teacher and then be released to you. The lawn area is for students who ride the bus. Please only use the sidewalk areas to wait for your child. Parents and students are to use the crosswalk closest to the gym. After you pick up your child, please do not loiter in front of the gym so all students can see their parents as they will be sitting. Please keep your child by your side after you have picked them up. In order to keep all children safe, they should not be playing in the dismissal are. For example: Do not let your child climb the trees or hang on the hand rail on the stairs of the gym. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we transition back to this dismissal location. Please contact the office with any questions.
