Human Resources
Welcome to Ferndale School District.
Our Human Resources department is dedicated to supporting staff so they can focus on what matters most—educating students. We provide guidance, resources, and efficient processes to ensure employees feel supported in their roles, whether through clear communication, timely assistance with benefits and leave, or navigating policies and procedures. By handling the complex aspects of employment, compliance, and professional growth, we help create a positive and stable work environment where teachers and staff can concentrate on fostering student success and building a strong educational community.
Ferndale School District uses the FastTrack program to allow us to more efficiently and effectively manage job applications.
Current Ferndale School District Employees (including substitutes and coaches) can access job openings by logging into Skyward Employee Access and clicking on the “FastTrack Open Positions” tab. For additional information about how to apply for a position through Employee Access, you may view the following link:
- We also have a computer available for use at our District Office, 6041 Vista Drive, Ferndale, WA 98248.
- Information regarding the status of your application will be sent through the FastTrack system to your FastTrack Message Center. Please log into FastTrack and check the Message Center daily while actively applying for open positions, as action may be needed from you to move your application forward.
- Only completed applications will be reviewed.
- Employment is conditional upon successful completion of WSP/FBI background and fingerprint checks.
