Dear Parents and Guardians, I am excited to share some important news regarding the upcoming Ferndale Elementary School (FES) and Ferndale High School (FHS) graduation ceremonies. Based on the decision by the district administration, we are thrilled to announce that FHS students will have the unique opportunity to graduate on the FHS football field this year. This decision reflects our commitment to unity and pride in attending Ferndale Unified School District. In line with this decision, the FES graduation ceremony will continue to be held in the FHS gymnasium at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 11th. The FHS graduation ceremony will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 12th, at Carlson Field (FHS), weather permitting. Please note that the FHS graduation on Carlson Field is weather-dependent. If the FHS administration determines it will be too damp or wet to host the graduation on the football field, the ceremony will remain in the FHS gymnasium at 3:00 p.m. We believe that these changes will further enhance the sense of community and togetherness within our school district. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further information. Warm regards, Mrs. Carmesin Ferndale Public Schools

Friday, April 5th, is lunch on the lawn (Weather permitting). Please send your child with their lunch in case lunch is canceled. We recommend that parents who are coming to attend lunch on the lawn bring a blanket to sit on and that you park and enter through the back of the school on Ocean Avenue. Friday is also our Spring Clean-up, beginning after recess. There will be no parking in the back lot near the Primary building or in the four spots in front of the school. Lastly, please send your students with clothes, boots, and gloves if you have them to ensure they are ready for our school clean-up.

Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope you are all doing well! I am thrilled to share exciting news about the upcoming Ferndale Elementary School (FES) and Ferndale High School (FHS) graduation ceremonies. Both graduation ceremonies will now take place at the Ferndale High School Auditorium, right here in our own school district facilities! The ceremonies will kick off at 6:00 p.m. on their respective dates, with FES graduating on Thursday, June 13th, and FHS on Friday, June 14th. To add to the excitement, the FHS gymnasium will be transformed to accommodate seating on the gym floor and the south side bleachers. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further information. Best Wishes, Mrs. Carmesin Ferndale Unified School District

Save the Date: This Saturday, April 6th from 10:00-12:00p.m at the Ferndale High School Library the FUSD Board of Trustees along with our school community will prioritize “What skills all FUSD Graduates should focus on while attending FES and FHS.” We will then prioritize which areas of our district budget should be spent on the skills we want all students to graduate from our school district having learned. We invite all of our educational partners to attend this working meeting.

Save the Date: This upcoming Friday, April 5th, Ferndale Elementary School will celebrate our school turning 100 years old with our Annual Spring Clean-Up and lunch on the lawn for TK-8th grade students. We look forwards to students and parents celebrating our school history. Ferndale High School will be providing our school community with 400 cupcakes for all students (Nut free for any students with an allergy)

Congratulations to Our Outstanding 7th and 8th Graders! We are thrilled to announce that our amazing 7th and 8th-grade students have been chosen to move forward to the California State History Day! The judges were absolutely amazed by the project topics our students presented, inspired by the Great Depression. These topics ranged from the creation of banking regulations to safeguard the public's deposits and investments to Adolf Hitler's manipulation of the banking crash to further his destructive agenda. Such incredible achievements from our students genuinely make us proud!
