School Site Council

The Fern School Site Council needs your nomination! The School Site Council (SSC) is the organization by which the school community comes together to chart the school’s path to improvement. The Fern SSC will have membership vacancies this school year. We need new board members and one alternate from the parent community. If you are interested in serving on SSC, please download and complete this form, and bring it to the office. Ballots will be distributed the week of October 26th. SSC meets 6 times throughout the school year, and the next SSC meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 16th, at 3:30 p.m.
