Mrs. Bigham was surprised this week to find her door decorated (by Mrs. Velazquez & Mrs. Hindley) with a Wishing Tree. For those of you that don't know, our very own Mrs. Bigham was the one (along with some help from students) that started the Ferndale Wishing Tree at Town Hall.

Please stop by the Wishing Tree this holiday season and leave a wish. Tree is at Town Hall and put up by Ferndale high school students ❤️(the tree will be up through New Years)

Good morning Ferndale Schools Family, As many of you know, the state and federal governments continue to place our schools and school personnel in an uncomfortable position of serving as regulatory enforcement agencies. Please know that it is not and has never been our intention to interfere with the personal values and beliefs of our families. Yet, we are held accountable to uphold the laws, policies, regulations and public orders that we are given as well as uphold school procedures and rules. We understand that many families are not in support of a state requirement that will add the Covid-19 vaccine to the list of those required for school enrollment. We also understand that many families are in support of the vaccine and a vaccine requirement. This issue has become quite divisive and we do not want this division to cause us to disrespect one another or the beliefs of others. Ferndale Unified School District is proud of how we always listen to one another and care for one another. We have had very respectful conversations on many divisive topics and issues. If you are going to participate in a protest, walk-out or boycott, please don’t do so by disrupting learning at our schools. We have fought hard over the past year and a half to get students back to a regular routine of learning. Please also consider contacting your elected officials or protesting in a way that does not disrupt student learning. If your student is missing school for a protest, boycott or walk-out please be sure to have a parent/guardian notify the attendance office for absence verification as is our regular procedure. Verified absences do allow for students to make up their school work, but again we encourage you to find alternate, meaningful ways to be heard. Most importantly we need to listen to one another, respect one another and be kind. Take care, Beth Anderson Superintendent

It will be a tough recovery and we ask you to continue to pray or send positive thoughts and love for continued healing. Thank you all. We love you Cayden! ❤️🐾
