COVID-19 Checklist: Thank you for taking the time to complete the COVID-19 checklist each morning. Please be sure to reach out to Fern Hill's school nurse, Mrs. Wendy McGregor (wmcgregor@wcasd.net) if you have any questions. Also, please notify Mrs. McGregor if anyone in the household is not feeling well, has been exposed or has tested positive for the virus.

Please read the letter (image) below to learn more about Play Day and how Fern Hill will celebrate on February 3rd. There is a lot of research supporting the importance of play in learning - we are excited to participate in this day!

Apple has come out with an update to the iOS. To avoid any technical difficulties, please install the update on your child’s iPad asap. The steps to install the update can be viewed as a tutorial (English or Spanish), as well as the poster below. If you need any assistance with the installation, please email FHEtech_support@wcasd.net

Please remember to notify the teacher and the school nurse if your child has a positive Covid test or has a direct exposure to a person testing positive for Covid, even if it occurs during remote learning. You can email Wendy McGregor, RN at wmcgregor@wcasd.net. We greatly appreciate everyone in our community following the safety protocols and keeping each other safe during this time.

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.

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.
