Good evening Ferndale Schools’ Family, In light of the changes at the state level tomorrow, we would like to clarify that the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ferndale Unified Teachers’ Association and our district’s COVID Reopening Plan require masks to be worn at school for the entire 2020-2021 school year. We have done so well and are so proud of our great accomplishments during in person classes this year. We only have a couple days left. Please encourage your student(s) to continue to wear their masks correctly and follow the protocols in the district plan that allowed us to re-open our campuses when many other districts did not. Thank you and have a great close to the school year! Buenas tardes Familia de Ferndale Schools, Con los cambios del nivel estatal hoy, nos gustaría aclarar que el Memorando de Entendimiento con la Asociación de Maestros Unificados de Ferndale y el Plan de Reapertura COVID de nuestro distrito requieren que se usen máscaras en la escuela durante todo el año escolar 2020-2021. Hemos hecho muy bien este año con las máscaras y estamos muy orgullosos de nuestros logros durante las clases presenciales. Solo nos quedan un par de días. Por favor anime a su (s) estudiante (s) a que continúen usando sus máscaras correctamente y sigan los protocolos en el plan del distrito que nos permitieron reabrir nuestras escuelas cuando muchos otros distritos no lo hicieron. ¡Gracias y que tenga un gran fin de año escolar!

Thank you DCI! Ferndale Elementary School would like to thank DCI Builders for donating their labor and installing new windows in the FES gym. Prior to DCI's help, cold air and rain were getting in the gym and warm air out. The gym is now much warmer, and the utility bills have gone down. Thanks again DCI for your continued support of Ferndale Elementary.

Congratulations to Ferndale's 7th grader Tinnley Pidgeon, who won first place with her history day project in the NHD North Bay Competition. She competed in the 6th – 8th grade individual documentary category which included entries from Sonoma, Marin, and Humboldt Counties. Tinnley’s documentary was about the use of carrier pigeons during wartime and the lives they saved. When asked about her film, she stated that she spent most of her President’s break working on it. Tinnely will now represent Humboldt County at the California National History Day competition in May. She is the daughter of Beckie McCanless of Ferndale and Matthew Pidgeon of Redding.
