FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL:
I want to thank all parents and other guests for joining us at our Back to School Night on Monday, September 16th. We had an amazing turn out and the staff at Fernwood were thrilled to be able to present to you all the great things that your child will be doing this school year.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Getting to Know you
Various lessons and activities in September have been geared towards getting to know each other. Students have completed "About Me" presentations as well as team building exercises to promote collaboration. Teachers have utilized STREAM ideals as a way for our students to work together to solve problems.
Super Readers
In an effort to encourage reading with our students the staff at Fernwood are taking part in a Super Readers challenge. All participating staff members are being asked to read books of their choice and then measure the width of the spine onto the wall display in the Media Center. The goal is to read as many books that coincide with the staff members height.
CLIMATE and CULTURE
Pod Decorating Contest
Each of our team's decorated their pod in time for Back to School Night. Using our Renaissance theme "Whatever it Takes" the students definitely did a great job! The winning pod was 8th Grade Gold Team.
Super Staff of the Week
Each week three members of our awesome staff here at Fernwood are honored for being "Super Staff of the Week." This week we recognized Ms. Whittle, Mrs. Yoos and Ms. Braverman.
Guidance Department
Our amazing Guidance Department is here to help our students with their academic, social and emotional needs. The department consists of Mrs. Poupard (8th Grade), Mrs. Mento (7th Grade), Mrs. Pappas (6th Grade) and Ms. Adams (SAC). Please reach out to your child's counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
