I am looking forward to this coming year and the opportunity to meet and work with each and every student, parent/guardian and teacher in  their effort to teach and learn.  Ferndale is noted for being child-centered and committed to providing an excellent instructional program to all students. Ferndale’s skillful, dedicated  staff makes learning challenging, exciting and fun. We have  established high expectations for ourselves as well as our students, and we hope that you join us as we strive toward reaching these  goals. We want you actively involved with your child's education  while at Ferndale. We believe that a cooperative effort will  create the greatest degree of success.  If at any time you have a question or concern, please  contact the appropriate teacher. If you feel that intervention by me or the school counselor is necessary, please call or email. The staff at Ferndale and I welcome the opportunity to address your  concerns or questions. Open communication is essential if we are  to maximize learning experiences for the children.  

I hope that your child has an outstanding year. As stated,  earlier, your interest and involvement are the factors which make  Ferndale so wonderful. Together we will make this a successful  year for all.
