Dear Parents and Guardians:
Please join us on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 as Fernwood Avenue Middle School hosts our annual “Back to School Night.” By joining us, you will have the opportunity to meet our staff, see our beautiful facility and become acquainted with the programs that your child is enjoying each and every day.
Prior to arriving please become familiar with your child’s schedule, including teacher names and room numbers, as you will be following his or her schedule on Monday evening. There will be representatives from our National Junior Honor Society available to help direct you to specific classrooms throughout the night. The event will follow a Day A schedule and the times below:
HR/Conv. 6:30 - 6:53 Welcome {Pick up student’s schedule}

All Special area teachers will all be in the gym for you to meet/greet during your child’s Specials period.
We will also have representatives from the Girl Scouts, AtlantiCare, and Parents Club in the Cafeteria. Please use your child’s lunch period to visit these tables.
Please remember that the purpose of our “Back to School Night” is to get to know your child’s teachers and the school. Any specific concerns about your child and their progress can be discussed during teacher conferences or by contacting the teacher directly via email or phone. Also, “Back to School Night” is for Parents/Guardians only. Please keep in mind that there will be no childcare for younger children.
We look forward to meeting you on Wednesday, September 27, 2023!
Student Achievement
Learning the Angles
Mrs. Howell's 7th Grade Media Studies class learned about camera angles in film! Check out the final product!
Learning the notes
Mr. Guerrasio's Adaptive Music class has smiley faces as they learn about quarter notes and rests. The class has been performing quarter note rhythms by clapping and they completed a quarter note hidden picture find. They're hoping to take their new rhythm knowledge and use it later this month on instruments like Boomwhackers and bucket drums!
Learning the Letters, Numbers, and Words...in French
This week, the Fundamentals 8 French class reviewed numbers, letters, and words of encouragement through a board game. Since we have some new students to class this year, it was also a fun ice breaker! It was wonderful to hear all of the students using so much French confidently! Incroyable!

Techless Thursday in Convocation
Jump in, jump out
During Convocation, Mrs. Anzalone and Mrs. Mosetti's classes joined together to complete the Jump In Jump Out activity. This activity brought students together and made everyone laugh. This was a great way to brighten everyone’s day!
French Club
Bonjour! Fernwood’s French Club had their first meeting on Wednesday, September 20. We brainstormed ideas on how to get monthly messages in French out to our school to showcase how similar the French and English language can be. And, to include a little culture, we learned about the Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) and worked in teams to create our own towers using very limited resources. C’était magnifique!
