In recent years, the district has provided basic school supplies for all students. Due to budget constraints, we will not be able to continue this practice this school year. We understand this change may create challenges for some families, and we remain committed to ensuring every student is fully supported. We are partnering with the Ferndale Public Schools Foundation and our Family Resource Center to assist any student in need. If your family needs assistance with school supplies this year please contact tracy.diehl@ferndalesd.org.
