Fern Drive Foundation
Hello Falcons!
The Fern Drive Foundation for Education and Techknowledgey is thrilled to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! The Fern Drive Foundation is a volunteer organization made up of parents, teachers, and staff. Our foundation is dedicated to the successful education of our Falcon students. Last year with the help of Apex Leadership we helped raise over 21,000 dollars to help toward our school’s technology fund.
Fern Drive Foundation for Education and Techknowledgy helps create numerous forms of fundraising to give our Falcons the very best education technology available.
Welcome back Falcons, we’re so excited to learn with you. Keep an eye out for our upcoming meetings!
Fern Drive PTA
Our Fern Drive PTA is led by our President, Mrs. Kristen Greene. You can reach her via email at kristengreene77@gmail.com
Thank you to everyone who has joined PTA! We really appreciate the support.
For clarification, joining PTA can be as much or as a little if a commitment as you choose. We would love for members to attend meetings and volunteer time, but we are more than happy with just the $10 membership purchase.
Please use the QR code below to join PTA today, if you have not already. Go Falcons!
Our Parking Lot and Pick Up Time
- DRIVE SLOWLY in the lot and on Fern Dr and Pico Dr
- BE PRESENT when driving ~ please put your cell phones away during this time
- DROP OFF on the sidewalk side of your car only ~ do not permit your child to exit the car in the passing lane
- DO NOT DART across Fern Dr to turn into our lot ~ I see cars turning left and darting into the parking lot, nearly causing accidents
- BE AWARE of the crosswalks and students/families walking through them ~ pedestrians always have the right of way
- USE the CROSSWALKS and please do not walk haphazardly through the parking lot to parked cars
- STUDENTS SHOULD NOT walk across Fern Drive to get into a car without an adult
