FHE Super Bowl of Reading
We are hoping that you are staying safe and healthy. Since the Super Bowl will be over on Sunday, the real SOUPER Bowl will be starting! We wanted to inform you that starting February 9th we will be collecting cans, food, and monetary donations for the Chester County Food Bank. We will be collecting until February 23rd.
The class that collects the most cans in grades K-2 and grades 3-5 will receive extra recess! Throughout the process we will have progress updates throughout and a bulletin board that students can check to see which classroom is in the lead.
Please consider sending cans in with your child. We would love to give the Chester County Food Bank a large donation from our Fern Hill bobcat family! You can use the QR code (below) to make a direct donation!

We recognize that our students at home may feel isolated. Please know that one of our main goals is to help your children feel connected to their teacher, classroom and Fern Hill! Our district has a Counseling and Mental Health Professionals Service Guide to provide supports and resources if your child is having a difficult time through all of this. This guide provides Counselor and Mental Health Professionals' contact information, services, important forms, and additional resources for parents of students Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Request for Assistance
In an effort to provide additional support for students and parents during remote learning, the district has created a “Request for Academic Assistance” form for each of the WCASD schools. Students, parents and faculty may complete a form on behalf of a student who is struggling with attendance, work completion or social/emotional learning. This form will be reviewed by a member of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports Team (MTSS) to determine the available resources that can be provided. While the form is available, we still recommend reaching out directly to your child's teacher to discuss any concerns.
