If you haven’t ordered a yearbook before, please think about ordering one this year for your child! It is a time capsule of their year; kids enjoy seeing memories of their peers and teachers. A fun tradition at the end of the year is swapping yearbooks to sign with other students and staff.

If you have any questions or need financial assistance to purchase a yearbook please email fersonyearbook@gmail.com.

There have been an increase in the number of students bringing fidget like items to school. While some students have these accessible through individual plans, they serve as a distraction to many students. Please help us keep learning as the focus in the classroom by limiting the fidgets/toys that are coming to school with your children.

Check out this week's Ferson Forecast presented by Emily G., Kate V., and Adaline T. from 4TB!
