Appreciation for Our Community
Thank you parents for your patience, understanding and ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of our students and community at arrival and dismissal times by following our new procedures. We understand this new phase has resulted in changes for some families as they navigate the adjusted procedures. We know that as students see the kindness and cooperation modeled by the adults, they are encouraged to demonstrate that same behavior towards their peers and adults as well. Thank you parents for reaching out to share your experience, offer suggestions and encouragement. We appreciate hearing from you and take your input seriously.
I am repeating the overview of our drop off/pick up procedures below for your reference.
Change in Car Drop off/Pick Up
We have now entered Phase 2 of our construction project which means the new North Parking Lot is now in use.
Please see below for key important points starting January 6th:
-
Parent vehicle drop off and pick is now in the new North Parking Lot with car entry further North on 39th Ave
-
Please do NOT block the parking lane along 39th
-
Walkers will be entering and exiting through the current walker gate.
-
Bus LoopThe current temporary bus loop remains unchanged.
-
Visitors to the Campus Entry onto campus will be through the new door on the north side of the cafeteria starting 1/6. You will then need to proceed around the building, following signs on campus, to check in at the main office.
-
There will be a security camera in place with a buzzer on the door connected to the front office.
-
The door will be unlocked for early programs and students between 8:00 and 9:30. It will then remain locked for the school day until dismissal.
-
When visiting Fernwood, please park along 39th ONLY during non pick up/drop off times. (8:45-9:20AM and 3:20-4:15 PM)

The beginning of a new year provides a good opportunity to remind students and families of our commitment to student, family, and staff safety, as well as avenues available if you or your student has concerns you wish to share with us. Our school works closely in collaboration with law enforcement, District Safety and Security, and District administrators to ensure your concerns are taken seriously and are addressed promptly. We must be vigilant in the protection of our school community, and we value and appreciate our partnership with you. We can't do it alone.
If you or your student sees or hears something concerning, please say something. If at any time you or your student believes you have knowledge of any situation where danger is imminent, dial 911 immediately. And please continue to encourage your student to share any concerns with a trusted staff member. If they aren’t comfortable sharing directly with staff, concerns can always be anonymously submitted using our Safe Schools Alert System:

Preparation for Inclement Weather
If weather conditions are severe enough, there are times when our school schedule can be impacted. You can visit the "Closures and Delays" on the Northshore School District's website to learn more about how decisions are made related to this topic as well as how you can be informed if adjustments to the school schedule occur.
