Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

Please remember to let your child's teacher or our front office know of any changes in transportation home before the end of the day. This helps us make sure your child is in the correct location to get home safely.

When exiting our parking lot during arrival and dismissal, please remember there is no left turn. The exit is a right turn only to facilitate a smooth and consistent flow of traffic.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students and community dafe.

Fernwood's Updated Snack Policy

In response to teacher and parent requests for clear and aligned expectations around snacks that are consistent across grade levels and classrooms, Fernwood has aligned our school wide snack policy. Please see below for general guidelines.

Fernwood Snack Policy:

• Snack time is limited to 10 minutes. 
• Teachers determine when that takes place based on student need and schedule.
• Snack items should be limited to easy to eat, single serving size, healthy options, for example: granola bar, piece of fruit, crackers, or cheese sticks...
• Items not considered appropriate: Large(family style) bags of chips, items with open containers that can spill (yogurt cups, fruit cups, ect.), candy or sugary snacks, open container drinks (pop ect.)...
• Snack items should not require the use of utensils to be eaten. Those should be saved for lunch in the cafeteria.
• Classrooms will not supply a class community snack. Students need to bring their own snack for their own consumption. Families that need assistance in providing snack for their child can reach out to Jean Christenson-jchristensen@nsd.org
