Early Release Wednesdays

Teachers will be collaborating on important school improvement matters for one hour on most Wednesdays throughout the school year. This means school will be dismissed one hour early on Wednesdays (when school is in session). The district calendar also identifies these Wednesdays.

School-Aged Child Care (SACC) will be provided on School Improvement Wednesdays at no additional cost to students enrolled in SACC for the week. For students using Latchkey for the one hour only on School Improvement Wednesdays, and not enrolled in daily SACC, drop-in rates apply:

  • Per Day PM Only: $15/Wednesday (Paid 1 week in advance)

The Ferndale Schools also offer fun enrichment camps when school is not in session (during the school year), including half and full day camps, and a wonderful Spring Break camp option for our families. More information on how to sign up for camps is posted here prior to each camp experience.
