We are appreciative of the ways our Student Council creates opportunities to celebrate and learn about the various cultures within our Fernwood community.
January 27th Non Student Day
The end of the first semester is on Friday, January 24th. Teachers are then given Monday, January 27th to use for grading and completing report cards. As a result, Monday, January 27th is a non student day and there is no school.
WIDA Assessments
Annual English Language Proficiency Assessment Students who qualify for English Language Development Services (ELD Services) will soon take the annual English Language Proficiency assessment called the WIDA Access or the WIDA Alternate Access Assessment (for students that qualify based on their IEP). The State of Washington requires that students who are eligible for ELD services take an assessment yearly to measure their continuing progress in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. All qualified students, including students who are eligible but whose parents have waived services, must take this assessment annually until their scores indicate proficiency and exit services. Your student does not need to study for this test. WIDA testing will take place in-person and at school between January 28th and February 28th. If you have questions, please contact Cassie Morton, Principal -cmorton@nsd.org.
