With Ferris Heart and Gratitude...

At Ferris Elementary, we believe a school is more than just a building — it’s a community, and at the heart of that community are our students, families, and staff.

We are truly thankful for the connections we’ve built  and continue together — for the kindness, support, and sense of belonging that fills our halls every day. Whether you’re a returning family or just joining us this year, we are so glad you're here.

Our shared goal continues to be creating a school environment that is safe, caring and connected — a place where every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow into their best self. We take pride in celebrating the rich diversity of our school and nurturing a culture of respect and inclusion.
