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)


Thank you to everyone that volunteered their time and those of you that shopped at the Book Fair. The profit for our school library was $1850. More importantly our students had a great time shopping for books and other items.

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!

Hello Wonderful TK Families!
Tomorrow is our 100th day of school. To celebrate, students are all invited to wear their pajamas. Students may also bring in one sharing item. We’re sharing an item of something we wish we had 100 of. We’ll also be making a "100 days of friendship snack." Students are invited to bring mini pretzels, raisins, mnms, cheez-its, teddy grahams, etc… We’ll combine our treats into a celebratory friendship snack at the end of the day tomorrow. Thanks for all you do!
